5
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: very happy to say has joined us after a long absence.

6
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: Earlier in the morning, I have been uh like I

7
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: would call it like human sleep system one Mark zero. Yeah,

8
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: how you doing, buddy? I just I described it like

9
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: I I woke up. This has happened to me a

10
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: number of times. I woke up late this morning and

11
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 1: had to take a cab over and uh rode up

12
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: um with a very high ranking executive from our company

13
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,639
Speaker 1: and who's your you know who also was suffering from

14
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: the same scenario that I am. According to him, so

15
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: he said he got great sleep last night. Well but

16
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: he told me he's been a disaster. But we bonded

17
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,559
Speaker 1: over that. That's good. How you feeling now? Not good?

18
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 1: But I'm feeling spirited about the concept of the show.

19
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: In theory, I'm feelings. I am feeling spirited about the

20
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: concept of the program. This is how they communicate, this

21
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: is how I love. Sleep is difficult for the earthlings

22
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: must assimilate one after long travels on jet plane. Ha

23
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: ha ha, primitive jet plane. I'm glad that you're over this.

24
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: Yesterday this was your issue too, but you've you've now

25
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: I'm situated two more normalized got I got up early

26
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: enough that for the first time I actually enjoyed the

27
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: breakfast downstairs. By the way, I don't know what's going

28
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: on here in England with the scrambled eggs. There live

29
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: little liquidity. For me. They're creamy, They're a little creamy.

30
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that I did eat them, but you

31
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: guys maybe take it down and notch the cream situation.

32
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: I mentioned that, uh to someone, my wife, my wife,

33
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: and she was like, yeah, because the only place that

34
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: eats scrambled eggs dry like like you guys do. The

35
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: rest of the world goes for the mushy scrambled. But

36
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I I like the the dry over

37
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: what's the rest of the world doing eating you know

38
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: they put a little milk in it. I think it's

39
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: it's it's almost like a porridge. It's like a hot porridge. Visually,

40
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: I would find that a difficult chore. Yes, we are

41
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: used to what we like and I'm I totally am

42
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: with you, but apparently we're on an island on this

43
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: one finger looking good? All right? This is the week

44
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: four preview show, UM coming up later tonight, and now

45
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: we're in this world with the rest of the fans

46
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: in the UK and the surrounding territories. UM. Dolphins at

47
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: Bengals PM eastern middle of the night here in the UK. UM.

48
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: So that's the thing that we have to adjust to.

49
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: But that's coming up later. We previewed that on Tuesday show.

50
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: And for the record, that was locked up by the

51
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: Westling brothers. And you know, after Nick Westling and the

52
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: one and two Westling brothers offered us that opus of

53
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: a video intro to their lock of who they locked

54
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: last week, they locked against the Dolphins last week as well,

55
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: they picked the Bills. So they're locking against the Dolphins

56
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: once more as frauds. And this is what they called it.

57
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,119
Speaker 1: They called the Dolphins frauds and not even a no

58
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: no audio accompaniment, no video accompaniment. And I'm just wondering

59
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: why why that disappears. I don't know if there's too

60
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: much the opus was too much for Nick creatively to

61
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: follow it up with a sequel. I don't know. It's

62
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: a lot going on in the Cincinnati Zoo. They picked

63
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: the Thursday Night games, so the deadline was a little earlier.

64
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: I suppose everybody running late today. It seems all right, well,

65
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: look let's get into the game. When I'm late, everyone

66
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: like two people know about it. If you're late to

67
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: your normal job, you just roll in, you figure out

68
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: maybe some someone saw it, and then you're then you

69
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: get on with your day. Um, all right, we're gonna

70
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: go through it. Old Zuser is the first pick of

71
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: the draft. But we always start with the primetime games.

72
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: So let's start with the game that will be called

73
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: by Tariko the Curse of al Oh. I didn't even

74
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: think about that because Amazon has had banger after banger,

75
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: and you know, and you know, al Michaels is tracking this.

76
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: He kind of got pushed out the door by NBC, um,

77
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: pushed into early retirement. But no, he lands on his feet,

78
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: as he always does, al Michaels um Cocktails and Malibu

79
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: with al Michaels. He lands with the Thursday Night crew

80
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: on Amazon, and they've had really fun games, entertaining games

81
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: so far. Mike Rico, Collinsworth and Melissa Stark. We haven't

82
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: had a good one yet, oh for four. So here

83
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: we go now with another opportunity, Chiefs at Buccaneers, and

84
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: we know what's going on with this situation with the

85
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: weather uh in Florida and Hurricane Ian. This game could

86
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: even potentially played as we're taping this we here in Minneapolis,

87
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: if they must move the game because of the hurricane

88
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: and its effects. But as of right now the game

89
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: is scheduled. It's Patrick Mahomes and his offense which has

90
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: not been able to get off the ground since Week

91
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,799
Speaker 1: one against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers offense with Greg

92
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: I think we're finally getting some pieces back, uh in

93
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: this game for Tampa on the offense offensive side, Well,

94
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: we're getting Mike Evans back for sure. Uh, that's exciting.

95
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: I think the rest of it is TBD in terms

96
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: of Julio Jones, Russell Gage has been out there playing

97
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: through an injury. Donovan Smith is another one that's TBD.

98
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: Godwin and Jones that we're at practice on Wednesday in

99
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: limited fashion and they said Julio could have played a

100
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: week Like thank you, let's do it. I don't like

101
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: this whole like, hey, let's bring it back to two

102
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: thousand three year, two thousand five Tommy when he's trying

103
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: to make it work with Kembrell Tompkins and Aaron Dopson. No,

104
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: forty five year old Tommy deserves more like, don't make

105
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: it so hard. I actually think he's been throwing the

106
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: ball quite well, but this is a tough matchup. The

107
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: Chiefs defense showed me something last week. They were very

108
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: creative how they got after Matt Ryan really blitz the lot,

109
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: tested the communication. That's harder to do against a guy

110
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: like Tom Brady no matter how many people are are

111
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: replaced up front for them. I mean, the Bucks defense

112
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: to me has been really what their team is, their identity.

113
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: They've allowed points in three games Number one d v

114
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: O A. They yeah, they've shut people down. And I

115
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: mean I think the Chiefs offense, after that first week,

116
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: we thought, well, these guys actually went into the off

117
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: season completely figured out their issues and are ready to sing.

118
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: And now I feel differently about them. I think they

119
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: are searching to some degree for what they are and

120
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: and there there are these parts around the homes and

121
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: they can make it work. They can make it work

122
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: on a level. But Dan do you not feel high

123
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: confidence about what they are I don't think this is

124
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: a I think Mahomes his frustration obviously showed last week

125
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: shouting at Bionemy, talking with Bianemy, annoyed with the whole situation.

126
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: That was a real thing, And you know what, I

127
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: think we make too much of that too, in the

128
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: sense that like, that's what you should be doing with people.

129
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: But I on your staff, but I I agree with that.

130
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: But I also think it represented something real, which is

131
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: that trust me, man, trust me to not make a

132
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: big mistake. They said it was because like he made

133
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: a few bad throws before that, it was in a

134
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: very low risk situation. It's like, I'm Patrick Mahomes, give

135
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: me the respect that Tom Brady would get in that situation,

136
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: they would let him. I know you did ask me

137
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: the question, Greg answered it. Well that then we you

138
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: know what question answered. I woke up late. Perhaps I

139
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: should have asked Greg the question, Um, Harrison, Butker returned

140
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: to practice. That's important. I think one of the things

141
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: also with the chiefs right now, because the offense is

142
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: finding itself. UM. Matta Amadola was not good. Um related

143
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: to Danny Amdola. By the way, I have that that's

144
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: why they lost. Not all ammadols are the same, mark, uh,

145
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: and I did not, I asked as And then you

146
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: had sky Moore, who was totally lost on special teams,

147
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: muffed a punt and then got them backed up at

148
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: the one yard line on another possession in that game

149
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: where they are right now offensively, the Chiefs of yesterday,

150
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: they could deal with those things. A kicker that's messing up,

151
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: a young punt returner who's green. But they need to

152
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: be sharper all around to make it work. So yeah,

153
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: I think it's it's a good game, but it is

154
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: as far as like picking this game, it's tough because

155
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: both teams are searching for it a little bit. I

156
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: feel better about the Chiefs right now overall. Uh, But

157
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: they're on the road, But then the road could be

158
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. So this is a funky, weird game to

159
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: track and to pick. So I don't really have a

160
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: a real good sense of how this is going to

161
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: play out. I'm with you, it's another game that feels

162
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: too early. Maybe it's and I think we'll talk about

163
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: it more during the show. Um, it's it's a trend

164
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: league wide. The offenses. They're struggling. Scoring is way down,

165
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: and I feel like the offenses will figure it out.

166
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: But these are two teams that you would never expect,

167
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: uh the quarterbacks to be that far behind their defenses,

168
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: like Tom Brady obviously is way behind the last two weeks,

169
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: the Chiefs defense has probably been ahead of their offense too.

170
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: It's very surprise there have been twenty three games that

171
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: have a massed between two teams fewer than forty points,

172
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: which is the most since two thousand six. What that

173
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 1: is the exact opposite of what you would expect from.

174
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: Let's now move to Monday Night football where the Los

175
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams, coming off win over the Cardinals, travel to

176
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: Santa Clara or Santa Clarita. Santa Clara. You got that,

177
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: you had it right for the big bell bottom to

178
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: face the forty Niners. The Rams have not blown the

179
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: doors off their opponents so far this season, but they

180
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: are in good shape at two and one. Um the Niners,

181
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 1: on the other hand, you know, they scored ten points

182
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: in the monsoon in Week one. Trail Lance get things

183
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: back on track against the Seahawks. When Trail Lance goes

184
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: out and Jimmy g takes over, But then lose eleven

185
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: to ten in an absurd uh contest on Sunday Night football.

186
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: That's what I'm looking at here, Mark, How does San

187
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: Francisco look against the defending champions, because we want to

188
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: take them seriously as contenders, but you want to see

189
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: some growth in some functionality, especially to the offense. Well,

190
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: the way that Sean McVeigh has dominated Cliff Kingsbury last

191
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: week's matchup, so much of it has been the opposite

192
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: against Shanahan. And I think back to that game last

193
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: year where the Niners on Monday Night Football unfurled those

194
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: long drives. I think there was like a twenty one

195
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: playe drive where it was Deebo Samuel was the ground game.

196
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: And what came out of that game was that losing

197
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: streak for the Rams where it was oh, member in office,

198
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: all the Rams. They might not they might lack toughness,

199
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: they might lack ridiculous. I'm just saying that's what came

200
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: out of it though, because that's what the Niners did

201
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: to them. That's not I can hear the Rams fan

202
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: listening be like, we beat him in the NFC Championship.

203
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: We came back by ten and the fourth quarter that's

204
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: favorite narrative. We understand, we understand that. I'm not saying

205
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: their stuff. Do we understand? We do, you too understand,

206
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: But just do you understand that concept. I'm saying that's

207
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: what the narrative. We understand the concept. But I'm saying

208
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: that narrative got buried. I don't think that is that works.

209
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: I don't think that works for any NFL team. But

210
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: what I my one feeling because we watched we watched

211
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: the Niners with Jimmy G at l a X in

212
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: the International Hub the terminal on Dan's laptop and my

213
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: one field iPad. My one feeling what find I got

214
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: the technology wrong. My one feeling with Jimmy G was like,

215
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: there's all this fascination round bringing them back. It really

216
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: felt like if you get back together with an X

217
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: after a long period where there's that like hot two

218
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: or three week interlude, really like, I'm so underst I

219
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: so understand why. I you know we're back. I thinks

220
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: are good. Then you're like, oh wait, this was what

221
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: was annoying me about this person? Good analogy? This is

222
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: what oh these little foilables. M hmm, this is why

223
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: we separated and Jimmy g looked like the quarterback that

224
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: you break up from in that game, and the Niners

225
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: looked miffed by the concept. It started out slow because

226
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: you know, they beat him in a potential uh do

227
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 1: or go home game and we had a week A

228
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: team too, So I feel like the Rams feel like

229
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: they kind of got over that forty Niners monkey that

230
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: was on the back, because you're right, mcveigh's kind of

231
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: gotten owned by Shannion. But they should have eliminated the

232
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: forty Niners from the playoffs they ended up getting. You know,

233
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: they snuck in the back door with that week uh

234
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: week A tea and even when they lost and then

235
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: they got eliminated in the NFC Championship. This is another

236
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: like defense over offense game where two guys who have

237
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: all the continuity in the world, Sean McVeigh Kyle Shannion,

238
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: are supposedly two of the best offensive coaches. Forget supposedly

239
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 1: they are two of the best offensive coaches, and they

240
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: have veteran quarterbacks that they're familiar with, and yet they

241
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: both are really piecing it together. I mean, it took

242
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: a transcendent play from Matthew Stafford last week on a

243
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: third and ten when it was I think twelve to

244
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: nine and he spun out of a sack and then

245
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: hits Cooper Cup for a first down or else. I

246
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: felt like that game might have slipped away from them

247
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: a week ago. They are County on Stafford to make

248
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: some transcendent plays and it's just Cooper Cup. The Allen

249
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: Robinson thing right now is not working. Tyler Higbee is

250
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: their number two. They need to get Odell Beckham signed soon.

251
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: They need to get Van Jefferson back, but they're not

252
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: because he's going on injured reserve. The Robinson thing and

253
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: the running game are both struggling. Yeah, that Allen Robinson

254
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: signing or the trade which looked like a home run

255
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: in the summer, just another reminder how things can look

256
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: a certain way that games start. And I know he

257
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: looked better in week two, but week three it was

258
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: back to I mean, he's under a hundred yards for

259
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: the season, so so there he had struggle. He dropped

260
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: a touchdown um last week and I think that, Yeah,

261
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: I think you brought up Beckham and that's a good point.

262
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: I know he's a ways off, but it seems like

263
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: that is an obvious move at this point that the

264
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: Rams are gonna pull the lever on that one. According

265
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: like three teams. Yeah, but you know the Rams now

266
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: are desperate for him. It's starting to look like I

267
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think that the Rams have to

268
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: figure some things out. We talked about it on the

269
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: UM Flagship Show earlier this week. Uh, that cam Akers

270
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: and the running game. They had that great first drive

271
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: out of the second half where he did all the

272
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: work and got into the end zone. Uh, then he

273
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: fumbles late in the game. Uh. They need they need

274
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: that balance, and they need to help Stafford out given

275
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: the lack of weapons he has. So I don't anticipate

276
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: this to be a shootout by any stretch. So you're

277
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: picking the forty. Niners are actually favored in this game

278
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: by two and a half. I think I'm taking forty.

279
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: I think so too. It's a total coin flow. It

280
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: feels like a Nick Bosa or Aaron Donald game. One

281
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: of those two players will just make the game winning play. Nick.

282
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: When I'm picking the Rams and Greg is picking the Niners,

283
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: and your opinion, it's just like Week four. It just

284
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: feels like this fits with what's going on. They could

285
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: both be two and two, and you're I don't feel

286
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: strong your relationship analogy was one again, well felt like

287
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: Jimmy G. They they he was sort of they had

288
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: another girlfriend in his tree lance and that kind of

289
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: went away for net, like organically went away. And it's like, oh, well,

290
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: now as a rebound, we're gonna go get back with

291
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: our feels great for a week or two, right right.

292
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: You bring Jimmy G back and it's like, oh, we

293
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: remember all the things we love and it's like you're

294
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: they moved back into your apartment. You're like, wait a minute,

295
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: hold on here. Mine is similar. It's kind of same church,

296
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: different pew from my personal experience in my past. When

297
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: you have a you're in a relationship, it kind of

298
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: runs its course. You kind of have a fight, the

299
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: relationship ends, and then a few weeks later you're like, oh,

300
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: let's get back together. And it's good initially, and then

301
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, okay, she is not going away. Yeah,

302
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: all the stuff, the reason we got into that fight

303
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: and broke up, it seems like the same. It seems

304
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: like Dan and I've been through some things. It's like

305
00:15:54,640 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: they're very close. Um, all right, there you go. Greg.

306
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: Greg's had just nothing but wonderful relationships. No, doesn't talk

307
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: about his personally. I've I've had similar been to Gregg's

308
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: house once. I've had similar things happened the exactly. That's

309
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: why I said it was a great analogy. You understand,

310
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: I would say that the exact same thing happened, And

311
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: I think we're here with Graver and Jessica and there's

312
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: no sense of that happening to that. It sounds like

313
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: the smooth sailing until Jimmy is hot. Like so you

314
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: get back and you're like, oh, well, it's worth it

315
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: for at least this for a couple of weeks, and

316
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: then you're like, a reason you do it? I mean,

317
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: there's definitely a reason you do it. Um, all right,

318
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna hit the draft in just a

319
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: couple of minutes. But we wanna say two things around.

320
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: The NFL Live Show is tonight from the O two

00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: form Ktish Town. I won't be late to that. I

322
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: hope not. That would be a problem. Um, So there

323
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: are limited tickets remaining. Go to Ticketmaster if you want

324

Speaker 1: to join us. If you, for whatever reason, cannot make

325
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: the show on Thursday night, and you should by the way,

326
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna be good. It's gonna be a lot of fun.

327
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: Got some special stuff in store, special guest galore that rhymed.

328
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: We are also going to be at the NFL south

329
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: Bank Takeover here in London. We'll do a live uh

330
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: kind of you know, a nice conversation with Neil Reynolds

331
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: on stage at the south Bank. What is south Bank?

332
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: What is that? That is the area of London where

333
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: the big London. You know, it's like London is and

334
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: like big bends across the river and it's like there's

335
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: a little a bunch of little things you can go do,

336
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: like an aquarium and the London Dungeon. And in the

337
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: NFL's has lots of events and various ex players coming up.

338
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: But most importantly we will be there with the Great

339
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: Neil Reynolds um at twelve thirty London time. So come

340
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: see us there. Cheer us, bull us if it's bad.

341
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: If we give a bad performance, buis honest, just like that.

342
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: It's like Atlanta that was which which was our lowest

343
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: performance of all time. But it won't be like that.

344
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: It will be totally different. All right, Let's take a

345
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: break and hit the draft, all right, welcome back. You know,

346
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: before we hit the draft, let's talk about the London

347
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: game from Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium. It is the Minnesota Vikings

348
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 1: against the New Orleans Saints, exclusively on NFL Network, by

349
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: the way, only place to watch it, and NFL Plus

350
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: as well, So make sure we're co workers this week.

351
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: I love it. Kevin Coogler for Cuggler Coogler, Mark Sanchez

352
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: on the call, and uh, it's a good London game.

353
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: I liked this game a lot. I think it's the

354
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: last time we saw this Jamis Winston here in London.

355
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: We were at the game. It was against the Panthers

356
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: and he threw six interceptions. And I'm not saying that

357
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: Jamis Winson is six interceptions again. And you know why

358
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: Jamis Winson is not throwing six interceptions again because if

359
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: he is bad early on in this game, it's Andy

360
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: Dalton time. I have a little feeling that you're gonna

361
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: see Andy Dalton Saints debut in this game against the Vikings.

362
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: Who I think you're going to score points? And uh,

363
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: I just don't know Jamis is up to it right now. Well,

364
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,959
Speaker 1: he missed practice Wednesday, but Dennis Allen did say that

365
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: he expected Jamis to be back and he doesn't think

366
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: that Jamis will miss Week four. He did sit out

367
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: of practice last Wednesday too, so it's it's not too strange.

368
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: I'm concerned for the Saints's sake for Michael Thomas, who

369
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: I think they absolutely need. Ryan Ramcheck, their starting right tackle,

370
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: was another guy you missed practice. They're just a weird,

371
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: messy team. There's weird vibes about whether Dennis Allen knows

372
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: what he's doing and keep bringing this up. What what's

373
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: at the heart of this? Because you said it on

374
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: our on our Sunday night, is because I'm not hearing

375
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: this from other people. They're they're asking first about about

376
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston. Should he have been playing in that game? Uh?

377
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: Should he get benched? Immediately? The media there, I think

378
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: there's some concern and you could read the bread comes

379
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: from the media there of like is Dennis Allen the

380
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: right guy to succeed Sean Payton That there's you know,

381
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: maybe some drama behind the scenes. I think Camara's absence

382
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago maybe caught them off guard.

383
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: Is Pete Carmichael a guy that didn't initially want the

384
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: offensive coordinate coordinator job right guy for it. Their offensive

385
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: line communication is strange. Like Jamis Winston is good throwing

386
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: the ball down the field, but this is an offense

387
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: that should be dinking and dunking, like making quick pre

388
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: snap decisions. And right now he doesn't look like he

389
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: fits that offense. I know he looked okay in it

390
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: last year when Sean Payton was there, but if you

391
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: watch their game last week, he was terrible pre snap

392
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: and and the Panthers kind of owned him. And I

393
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: would expect Kevin, you know, ed Donotel the Vikings to

394
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: send a lot of different looks, a lot of different

395
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: blitz is We talked about defense doing better this year.

396
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: One of the reasons is teams are blitzing at a

397
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: way higher rate league wide. The Vikings haven't in general,

398
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:07,959
Speaker 1: but I would expect them to this week. I mean,

399
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 1: some quarterbacks do better against the blitz, but the Saints

400
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: with Winston have eight giveaways since Week two, and that's

401
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: been the thing. I mean Winston in the narrative with

402
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: him under Payton, which we've talked about, is the fact

403
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: that he was treated differently. It was not turning the

404
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: ball over. He had a great touchdown to pick ratio,

405
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 1: but that's he's had. He's had five fourth quarter interceptions

406
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks, which is a mess.

407
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: He's melted down. And they had gotten off to a

408
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: slow start. They've scored three points three points per game

409
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: in the first half. They've been a mess here. So

410
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 1: I mean it's like I think that they were messy

411
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: but enjoyable to watch and kind of dangerous in the

412
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: in the early on and now they just turned into

413
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: more of a mess on off right. Their offense right

414
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: now is worse than it was when Taysom Hill and

415
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: Trevor Simeon were starting with Marcus Callaway as their number one.

416
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: It's that's what I mean about weird. This team is weird.

417
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 1: Cam Jordan, Marcus Davenport, Dan have a combined uh one

418
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: sack in one quarterback hit this year. You can run

419
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: over them, which I don't know what they are. I

420
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: don't know what they are. Yeah, the defense needs to

421
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: carry this team right now and hasn't been quite up

422
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: to the task. And yeah, you want to see more

423
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: from Kamara and you want him to be the heartbeat

424
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: of the offense right now, and and he hasn't been

425
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: quite as involved. And Michael Thomas has this injury and

426
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: we know his injury history. Um, so you wonder about points.

427
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: But this is all kind of This was in the

428
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: We talked about it all summer. This was in the

429
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: range of outcomes for the Saints that as much as

430
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: you could look at the roster and say how good

431
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: it was, it was still Dennis Allen who was a

432
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: huge bust his first time around as a head coach,

433
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: and Jamis Winston leading a team who was Jamis Winston.

434
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: So this isn't hugely surprising to me. On the Viking side,

435
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: I think Dalvin Cook has a shoulder issue. He's another guy.

436
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: It's like I feel like we talked about every season,

437
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: Like we're talking about it with um Dak Prescott yesterday.

438
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: We're always talking about what Stalvin's cooks in tree. Will

439
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: he be able to play? Will he be marginalized because

440
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: of it? He's a big part of what makes when

441
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: the Vikings offense is truly humming. He's doing his thing.

442
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: You never want to put too much on Kirk Cousins's plate,

443
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: so you want to see it would be good if

444
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: if Cook plays, but that's looking if he y like

445
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: Cousins and Winston are the only two players in on

446
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: Earth in the history of Earth that had thrown for

447
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: four hundred plus yards in London. Wow, that Winston game

448
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: he did throw for out. I mean, I think we're

449
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: gonna get actoring in the World League, the World League,

450
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: you know what. The other that was probably we don't

451
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 1: don't now, don't go just assume Greg, I don't think

452
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: you're allowed. It's gonna be like a weird game though,

453
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: like I I expected to be bizarre. Come down to

454
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 1: the end, it's Kirk Cousins and Jamis Winston in like

455
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: a strange time zone. It's gonna be ugly and like

456
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: weird fun and it's both these teams deserved to be

457
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: two and two. In my mind, Kirk Cousins, as bad

458
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,239
Speaker 1: as Jamis has been against what Kirk Cousins has been

459
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: an outright disaster. Even if you take out the Eagles

460
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: game where he famously was like two for twelve for

461
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: twelve yards. Even if you take out that game, he's

462
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: eight for twenty two for ninety yards. So this is

463
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: a d a dial up. Those blitzes show us what

464
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: you got, Dennis Allen, how about Justin Jefferson, show up please.

465
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: Two games in a row been slightly erased or erased,

466
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: not slightly. M m m. That's do you not pa

467
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 1: that more on? No, I put that, but I put

468
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: that more on Kevin O'Connell than Justin Jefferson. Hey, you know,

469
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 1: get this guy open. Find a way to that he's

470
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: not disappearing because he's this week. M Toffy, all right,

471
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,959
Speaker 1: draft time listen of Justin Jefferson is as good as

472
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 1: we all think. It shouldn't matter who's playing defense against him, right,

473
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: So that's why it's been a little surprising. After week one,

474
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: we'll see interesting. Marshal on Lattimore. That's a great that's

475
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: a great matchup. He's been on fire this year. Marsha

476
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: on Latin very good. All right, the draft starts now, zeus.

477
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: It's come back around now here in week four. I

478
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 1: have the first overall pick and I will select without

479
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: any doubts about it. The Buffalo Bills traveling to Baltimore

480
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: to face the Ravens. This has the feel, um, you

481
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: know what, Greggy, another too early matchup for me. Yep,

482
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: I'm with you, a little bit too early, um because

483
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: these teams, yeah, are dealing with things, especially the bills.

484
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: We talked about the back into their secondary. This is

485
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: Iron Eagle and Charles Davis on the call with Evan Washburn. Washburn,

486
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: by the way, it was his birthday last week. Did

487
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 1: you guys see this very handsome and he treats his

488
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: body like a temple. Um. So they brought him down

489
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,959
Speaker 1: a cake for his birthday and he did the like

490
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: ridiculously fit handsome guy movies like, oh look at this cake,

491
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: you like dipped into his finger, uh, and then tried

492
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 1: the icing and was like, Oh, he's gonna be on

493
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 1: like some StairMaster for seven hours. Uh, yelling at himself

494
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: for trying the cake. That remin finds me of a

495
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: video I I implore everyone to seek out. It was

496
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Patrick Bateman. It was Russell Wilson a week

497
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: ago on TikTok Um with a bunch of his cronies

498
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: behind him, uh, deciding what suits he was gonna wear.

499
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: And it felt like a cult where they all grew

500
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: in yet oh yes, of like what suits he would wear?

501
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: It didn't make any sense. It was awkward. But my

502
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: favorite part of it was was a watch was awkwardly

503
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: placed right in front of the camera for no reason.

504
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: And Ciara held up a piece of Hogendoss ice cream

505
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: on a spoon for a minute and a half straight,

506
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: never put it in her mouth, but just held it

507
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 1: in front of it as product placement. And that that

508
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: that reminds me of your man, Evan Washburn, whose strangest

509
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: thing I've ever seen? Um? Alright, wad you see Russell

510
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: Wilson's subway. We need to. I want to get on

511
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: TikTok just to follow that. I would like to play

512
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 1: the Russell Wilson um subway. Uh add in full right

513
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: now because it's that good. Hey, you want to infu

514
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: with the subway sandwich. It is my signature sandwich. It's

515
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: called the danger Witch. Be careful though, you know you're

516
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: missing the facial expressions when he said spicy was so good.

517
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: Have you ever done anything dangerous? Who oh, the the sounds. Jeez,

518
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: that is dangers. Gonna pull those for future sandwich prop

519
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: I've done something like that too. You've done nothing like

520
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: Oh no, listen one time. Never mind, that's too dangerous. Anyways,

521
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: my danger which it's only in the ball, that's a

522
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: little secret. Oh he might be my favorite player. In

523
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: the league. I gotta say when you compared him to

524
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: a rod off Off Mike and I was like, that

525
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: is a perfect He is a rod He tried very

526
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: hard to be everything to everyone, and when you do

527
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: that sometimes you're nothing to know one. So that is

528
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: unmed it. But at the same time, you know it

529
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: gives a lot to charity. Seems like a upstanding citizens.

530
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to bury him, but he tries very hard. Anyway,

531
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: Bills Ravens, let's talk about it. Love it, love the game.

532
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: It's too early, um, but it should be fun. And

533
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: you have a the two. I think we talked about

534
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: it on last Sunday. I think these are two of

535
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: the three top m v P candidates right now. So

536
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: for that alone, we can talk about all the injuries.

537
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: But we do get knock On Wood, Josh Allen versus

538
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, and that is gonna be great. And you

539
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: have Josh Allen, um who has Stefon Diggs. I know

540
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: he's a little more quiet last week, but that was

541
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: a strange game against the Dolphins. Um. They are performing

542
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: at a Their chemistry has been unbelievable. And on the

543
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: raven side, I think there has been some surprises. Mark Andrews.

544
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: We knew he was going to be a massive playmaker

545
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: for them, and he's absolutely been that. Uh Devin du

546
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: du Verne, du Verne, Duberne struggle with his name. He

547
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: has been really good for them and they needed They

548
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: are one of these teams we talked about it with

549
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,959
Speaker 1: certain teams you need a guy to step up, and

550
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: that's what dev Devin Devin Duvernet Duvernet has been for

551
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: the Ravens, both as a special team's presence and as

552
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: a playmaker down the field. That has played a role

553
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: in Jackson's dominance as a passer. Hasn't his deep passing

554
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: been better than ever? I mean, I think in each game,

555
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: and maybe it's maybe not so much last week, but

556
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: each game this season, there have been shots where I

557
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: thought that you just seeing Lamar Jackson with complete and

558
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: total confidence down the field. Duberne has been part of that.

559
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: Rashod Bateman has been part of that. It's the Ravens

560
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: defense that concerns me. I mean, from from all angles. Statistically,

561
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: they're a bottom five defense, bottom three defense, I mean,

562
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: and it's like you're just not used to that. I understand.

563
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: You can't take it out, but so much of that

564
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: was the fourth quarter against the Dolphins. That but it's

565
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: but also that that's sort of right, that's who they are.

566
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: And so like, when I look at this game, it's like,

567
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's too early in the sense

568
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: that I think it's going to be a wild shootout.

569
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: Necessarily it might be, but I trust even even with

570
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo's injuries, Sean McDermott, his special skill seems to be

571
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: coaching secondary wherever he is, and that in last week.

572
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: You know, I know that they were they were banged

573
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: up last week and the Dolphins with two I had

574
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: their lowest yardage output of the season by far through

575
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: the air, and that was a weird game too. But

576
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: I just don't I don't see a scenario where Buffalo

577
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: doesn't march up and down the fields here. Ken Baltimore,

578
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: is you gonna do it? No? I'm just I was like, well,

579
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: that's true. I feel confident that that will be the case.

580
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what Baltimore will accomplish on on offense.

581
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: I um, I'm so surprised by a lot of things

582
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: with these two teams right now. You're right about Lamar

583
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,719
Speaker 1: and Josh outt I you think we might be at

584
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: the point with Josh Allen where they're asking a little

585
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: too much, like they're testing the bounds of how much

586
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen can do that he was like he was.

587
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: I think he was involved in something like seventy seven

588
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: of their ninety plays. They're dead last and rushing d

589
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: V o A on the season. Uh, he actually hasn't

590
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: run that much. Uh. Their offensive line was a mess

591
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: last week. They've they've they've had some injuries there. The

592
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: cavalry is coming back a little bit for the Bills.

593
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: Mitch Morris, their center, who to me, Uh, you really

594
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: felt his absence the last couple of weeks. Dame Jackson,

595
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: who's a starter at cornerback, Ed Oliver who's a great

596
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: playmaker up front, and Jordan poy Or their safety. We're

597
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: all back at practice Wednesday, so they're getting about half

598
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: of their guys back. Uh. That's that's a great sign.

599
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: But the offensive line in the running game, Uh, I'm

600
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: surprised that they have such warts as good as they

601
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: look there, they have some weaknesses to this team, Greg,

602
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: You're right, I mean they had their active rosters since

603
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: we didn't play against the Dolphins, which that which makes

604
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: me think that Dolphins game is really more of an

605
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: argument for Buffalo's greatness than really a story about the Dolphins,

606
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: because I think Josh Allen and you're right, he's so

607
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: heavily involved in that game, the amount of plays, everything,

608
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: but Josh Allen to me, like they lost, but he

609
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: solidified in my mind the argument that he is more

610
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: of an m VP candidate than anything else he's done

611
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: this season because of how they almost won he did.

612
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: He's the quarterback and like I guess you you fact

613
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: to them, but he can overcome that stuff. He really

614
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: can and like and I think that's part of the

615
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen experiences. You're gonna get some of those throws.

616
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: And I know also the throw to Mackenzie where wobbled

617
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: to the ground while he stood there with his arms outstretched.

618
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: It was weird, But I think Josh Allen also did

619
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: seven or eight improbable, wonderful things. Lamar has almost been perfect.

620
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: All those touchdowns have been from the pocket. I'm surprised

621
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: you mentioned the defense to they're running their traditional running

622
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: game other than Lamar Jackson isn't really working, and they

623
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: also likely lost Michael Pierce for the season. It's up

624
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: to him whether he gets the surgery or not. But

625
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: he's been their best run stoppers. So it's kind of

626
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: weakness on weakness when the Bills try to run. And

627
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: I'm curious the Bills talk about that game in Miami

628
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: like it was like the War of eighteen twelve, Like

629
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: it was intense. You saw Josh Allen, you saw you

630
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: saw the reaction, and so many of the players were dehydrated.

631
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,479
Speaker 1: They played nineties snaps on offense. There's this weird thing

632
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: that like, oh, the defense must be tired. The offense

633
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: is tired too, Like it's tired, like the offensive lineman

634
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: playing right, the offensive lineman play more snaps than anyone.

635
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: It's them in the secondary that never leave the field.

636
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: And like so I'm very curious if they have some

637
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: championship medal and they go to Baltimore and win a

638
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: game after that, I would really show a lot. Now

639
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: I'm with you, and maybe they will speaking of that,

640
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that was just last week, that was on Sunday.

641
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: So maybe they're a little flat. Maybe there's some recovery

642
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: time and the Bills are affected by still by that game.

643
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: But I also love I'm banging. I know you're not

644
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: a big over under guy, Greg, but I'm banging the

645
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: over if you want on this because I think Lamar

646
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: will attack that week in secondary of Buffalo, and I

647
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: think Josh Allen, I think this is still um to me,

648
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: uh by far the best team in the a f C.

649
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: And I think after a deeply frustrating loss and the

650
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: way the offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey reacted that speaks for

651
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: the entire team. They might drop a bomb on the

652
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 1: Ravens um and maybe won't be a blowout because again

653
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo's injuries in the back end against the guy's amazing

654
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: as Lamar will keep the game close. But I think

655
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 1: it could be one of those Bills offensive performances where

656
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,720
Speaker 1: it's like they don't punt. I think it's a classic.

657
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: It was a great number one pick. I think Lamar

658
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: is playing at such a level that no one's going

659
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: to blow them out. I also think you made a

660
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: nice pick. Thank you over under punts in this game.

661
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,439
Speaker 1: I'll set it at three and a half over so weird.

662
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: I was thinking for wit when you said it. So

663
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,919
Speaker 1: you're banging the over all right up next and the draft,

664
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal, that's right, Um, I know you're going to

665
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 1: take the game that I want. I can feel it. Um.

666
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: Really yes, now he's looking to see. Well, it's to

667
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: feel a second, I wasn't totally ready to playing. I

668
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: might have just felt the pressure of the scrambling moment

669
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: and taken anything. Um. But yeah, what a great game.

670
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: There's a lot of bad games this week, so, I mean, well,

671
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: Eagles favored by six and a half in this game.

672
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: Talk about disrespect. So you know we mentioned vo Vegas

673
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars. You know that there's six and a

674
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: half point underdogs. I mean, it's it's still only week four.

675
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,879
Speaker 1: The Vegas is like to get it as five point

676
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: underdogs won by TEA and has like six point underdogs.

677
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: And you know we mentioned d v o A twenty

678
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: eight last week, right, Uh struggling with the math here. Uh.

679
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: They are a team right now that is in the

680
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: top four of d v o A, which we mentioned sometimes.

681
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: That's that's just like overall team efficiency has measured by

682
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: Football Outsiders. I like it. Actually, this week has the

683
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: top four teams in the NFL all playing each other.

684
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: They have the Ravens Bills in the top four, and

685
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: they have the Eagles and the Jaguars in the top four.

686
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: And that's why I'd be afraid of that that six

687
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: and a half because I think the Jaguars line play

688
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: is similar in some ways to the Eagles line play,

689
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: and that both lines are winning their battle each week.

690
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 1: And when you have that, it just makes life easier

691
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: on everyone. The quarterback, the play caller, Josh Allen for

692
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: the Jaguars has taken his game to another level. Trayvon

693
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: Walker has been a great addition. They have playmakers with

694
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: Devin Lloyd, who's probably the defensive rookie of the year

695
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 1: so far. At the second level, Tyson Campbell's at number one.

696
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 1: So you're playing great upfront of offense and you're giving

697
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,320
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence all the time in the world. I watched

698
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: Baldi on Sky Sports this week the UH in our

699
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: room late late night. I'm turning on and there's Neil

700
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: talking to Baldi and he wasn't he wasn't taking away

701
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 1: credit from but he was saying. He was saying Trevor's

702
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 1: job has been easy because he's getting pretty great protection,

703
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: he's getting answers, he's getting the ball out quickly, and

704
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: mostly he's accurate and He's decisive because he knows will

705
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: be protected. Guys are open and he's getting protected. The

706
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: line play for both of these teams are sensational. You

707
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: could argue both of their lines are in the top

708
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: five at their respective This is Vinny and bay Ridge.

709
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: You know, I don't understand how you could say anybody

710
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: in this league playing quarterback it's an easy job. Baldi

711
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: said that on some program. Hen't say that. I don't.

712
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: I disagree. It's the hottest position in spots. I'll hang up.

713
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 1: He didn't say that. I was reading between the lines.

714
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: Neil kind of gave him a question in a way

715
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: that would say, like, just talk about Trevor Lawrence, and

716
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,280
Speaker 1: I think he was just saying, look, it's a full

717
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: team operation. He's making confident, accurate throws. But he has

718
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,919
Speaker 1: a really great advantage with a great goy dollar, great line,

719
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: and so what's wrong with that too? Because it's great, right,

720
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: I mean, like, look what he went through a year ago.

721
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: And I mean for me, the Jaguars sorry, uh, Grave digger,

722
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: but I think they're gonna win this division. I just

723
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 1: feel this about them. There's something going on with this

724
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: team because the pretty balanced, like their defense too, is

725
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 1: disruptive and a big problem. I don't know if they're

726
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 1: gonna be able to disrupt and become a problem to

727
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 1: the Eagles, though, who might be the most complete team

728
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: in the entire NFL. Right now, here's the thing, this

729
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: is why this is a juicy game. Almost my number one.

730
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: Can I say one thing, By the way, I don't

731
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: know what's going on with this office furniture. They still

732
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 1: have not taken the little plastic not a lot. There's

733
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: still these little plastic tags in this bizarre couch. I'm

734
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 1: sitting on what are we doing here this question? Yeah,

735
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:39,720
Speaker 1: Mark's going into someone someone else's house and complaining about

736
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 1: complaining about the furnace. They just bought it for you.

737
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: They were like, you need to get business class. Now.

738
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, but this to me, like the O. C. D.

739
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: Part of my inner world, like has an issue with

740
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: the fact that this is I also cannot pull it out.

741
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: Just saw Henry Hudson walk outside. I'm gonna endeavor to

742
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: bring it in continuing. Um, No, this is a great, great,

743
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,280
Speaker 1: great test for the Jaguars and their moment to shine

744
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: here because I'm in on them. I had them that

745
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: jumped ten spots in the Power rankings. This week they're

746
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: at eighteen. That's when Trevor Lawrence did in my QB

747
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: and next it's there's something going on similar. It's just

748
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: like it's led by teams. Yeah, teams go as their

749
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 1: quarterback goes. And I think, man, if they could beat

750
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: the Eagles. And I understand the Eagles are expected to

751
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: win this game and probably will and they're playing so

752
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: well right now, but they be the Jaguars become a

753
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 1: major story in the league if they win on Sunday,

754
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: and they have that. They're in this place now where

755
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: they have a roster with some talent, and they have

756
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: a coach that they believe in now and a quarterback

757
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: that's ready to make the jump, and they go into

758
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,439
Speaker 1: a game like this with nothing to lose, and that's

759
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: dangerous and Philly maybe, you know, feeling maybe too good

760
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: about themselves potentially, don't be surprised they gave. They've gotten

761
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: to twenty four in the first half of each of

762
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: the last two and then just like satisfy. By the way,

763
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: in our league, you sometimes think, especially a team that

764
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 1: starts out great out of the gate, is completely unstoppable.

765
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: The Eagles aren't as good as they see him right now, Well,

766
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: they're their best team in the league. I don't know.

767
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 1: I think there are Eagles type of team to me,

768
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 1: and they even Eagles were beaten four or five times.

769
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that the Jaguars have a chance here,

770
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: and uh, maybe you're right right, Maybe Vegas needs to

771
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: be a little more plugged in on what this team's

772
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: capability about locking the Eagles. And I was like, that's

773
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: too disrespectful for what the Jaguars are are accomplishing. Right,

774
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: this is this is our first show me something game

775
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 1: of the whole year, because we're talking about all these

776
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: teams that like don't look quite like they normally do

777
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: normal years. Tom Brady and writers like, to me, these

778
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,879
Speaker 1: are two of the sort of it teams of two like, hey,

779
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: these guys are different, show me something. How about James

780
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: Robinson couldn't get out of Urban Meyer's doghouse last year

781
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: and now he's one of the most explosive offensive players

782
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: year was for the a joke? All right? Up next

783
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: in the draft, Mark Well, we do have a special

784
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 1: guest coming, Henry Hodson. Uh, he's gonna take Justin Graver's

785
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 1: microphone and maybe answer not only what's happening here in

786
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: London this week, we want to get some of that

787
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 1: the answer some of the accusations. He literally something literally

788
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: kind of pause the preview show to share a criticism

789
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: of your office here. And by the way, it's great

790
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: to be on your turf now you've moved back from

791
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 1: America to the UK. But Mark, you had something to say. You,

792
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: of course understand most of you are very welcome here,

793
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,720
Speaker 1: you understand. Wait, I went on my way to text

794
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: you individually thank you. What I was going to ask

795
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: it was not a critique so much as Dan presents

796
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 1: as I'm sitting in a very comfortable of the NFL

797
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,760
Speaker 1: and well named, well named, but um uh, the out

798
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 1: of the arm of the air are still the plastic

799
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: things that someone would cut off there if like hardcore

800
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: meetings were taking place in here, if we were doing

801
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: real things, someone would have noticed, like we've got to

802
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 1: remove this. I would just ask something be cutting back

803
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: a little bit. Do you think this is a room

804
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: as you look around it where hardcore meetings are taken Well,

805
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what's here the face of NFL um UK.

806
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 1: You know it does podcast here, so you do want

807
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: to treat him? Right, that's basically a junk closet with microphones.

808
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: So media room is a nice studio. So you're saying,

809
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: not a lot is happening in your media room. No, no,

810
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 1: a lot is happening in here. These Lazy Boys really

811
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 1: are brand new. Okay, they're right? Are you? Did you

812
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: instigate the purchase of them? I didn't, I didn't. They

813
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: are partner. Lazy Boy kindly gave them to us. Maybe

814
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: it was lazy boy for them not to take the

815
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 1: tags off, maybe of us, not of lazy Boy. Would

816
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: I mean you said another option would be for Mark

817
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 1: to just do it himself after the show and not No,

818
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 1: that's I know, that's style, not traveling business class. He

819
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 1: has people to do that for him. Yea. Are you

820
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: happy to see market? That was not the introduction? I hope.

821
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 1: I was excited in my mind, I was excited to see.

822
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:15,919
Speaker 1: But it hasn't necessarily gone for you though. I don't

823
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:17,919
Speaker 1: know if it's stressful. You got two straight games here

824
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: in the UK. You're kind of running the whole ship here. Well,

825
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: I would it's definitely not stressful, and it suddenly I'm

826
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: not running the whole ship it's exciting. It's exciting. Are

827
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: you Are you seen as um something of a deity

828
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 1: here at God because you went to the Promised Land,

829
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 1: you went to America, you became large. America is the

830
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: promised Land. Maybe maybe the first misstep, I mean, for

831
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: you and you went to a far Now I'm safe

832
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: enough I could take shots at the United States. I'm

833
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,879
Speaker 1: not taking shot. I felt like there was a shot

834
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: being taken in England. What he's saying is when you

835
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 1: walked through the office, people start like shuffling their papers

836
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: to make sure came into the building. Today with a

837
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: high ranking NFL executive always said was we're here to

838
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 1: see Henry. We didn't even say your last name in

839
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: the in the very officious um uh. She works very

840
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 1: hard at her job downstairs at the front desk, knew

841
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: exactly who you were. It was like bang box checked

842
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: the door. So it wasn't even there's probably another Henry

843
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: in the office, but it's like there's only really one Henry. Okay,

844
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,399
Speaker 1: so what do you like? I do like the chair

845
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: tell us about the south Bank takeover. I would love to.

846
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,839
Speaker 1: That's exciting, thank you. Yeah, it's the south Bank. We

847
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: are holding a fan event on the South Bank, which

848
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 1: is on the south bank of the River Thames. For

849
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: anyone who's confused buttons not things that it is. It's

850
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: Thames River by the way. You know um and um

851
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: around our parts we called the Fames um and it's

852
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: very exciting. All the fans can come down as you

853
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: know like this. You've been to what do you call it,

854
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: the Big Tot. You've been to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium that

855
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: seats to seventy thousand people, but we've got many more.

856
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 1: I mean probably that's the number of people that we

857
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: are listening to your show in the UK right now

858
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: as I'm speaking. But there's millions more hands and so

859
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: it's a great opportunity for them all to come down

860
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: and see lots of stuff and experience lots of things.

861
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: You just kids, um, what what about? Who am? Like

862
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: you said that there's really um you noticed that there

863
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: was a millions. That's a guy that rolled out of

864
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 1: bed forty one minutes ago. Millions of fans, but only

865
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 1: sixties seven like you know, thousands I'm saying say that Sorry,

866
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 1: I wasn't saying. A stadium can let me let me

867
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: go back. A stadium can only hold about sixty thousand people, right,

868
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 1: But there's many more NFL fans, including the hundreds of

869
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: thousands that listened to this show, that won't be able

870
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: to come to the game. So we want to make

871
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: it accessible to them. And that's why we're holding this

872
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 1: event on the South Bank on Saturday, UM so that

873
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: they can come down and have a bit of an

874
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 1: NFL will be there at I do want to be

875
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: part of like the promotional UM newspaper materials though next year,

876
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: because like I did see it mentioned in the paper

877
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 1: and they mentioned who's going to be there, Your name

878
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: wasn't mentioned. Now was like oh see, and Marie Jones drew,

879
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: which maybe maybe has held it against us for a

880
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 1: year that Dan and I got a much bigger ovation

881
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,280
Speaker 1: than him on the dumb you're gonna that's actually another

882
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: thing that we've we've asked you guys to do. You're

883
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: gonna get another opportunity to see if you can do

884
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 1: that that's right for people. In our defense, we have

885
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 1: the same amount of Super Bowl rings as m J

886
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: d No. He won one last year as a as

887
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,399
Speaker 1: a radio announcer for the Rams, and he had then

888
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 1: one less, one less. But that's still maybe next year. Okay,

889
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 1: And one last thing on my end, did I did

890
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 1: I know? Just he got? He did get a ring?

891
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: I guess that's a great hank. Final point or question?

892
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 1: Can we take down the mush level of the scrambled eggs? Here? Wait?

893
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: What's that mean? That's just a little it's almost like

894
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 1: a porridge. See, I don't like you so you like

913
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: everybody else has always been so well welcoming to us,

914
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: and um, we're just just to be here in recording

915
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 1: here today is just it's really nice. So thank you. Well,

916
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: you're welcome back to time and every year it's a

917
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: good time to be a London. UH. NFL fan. The

918
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: Jaguars are getting they just got picked second overall in

919
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:21,360
Speaker 1: the game draft. That's that's good. They are hands everybody

920
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: all right, Mark, it's snakes to you. Well, I can't

921
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: believe I'm doing this trot Seahawks. I can't believe it either.

922
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: Team O. Yes, it is a very special honor. I

923
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 1: forgot about that. This is a very special honor. Uh.

924
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 1: That is Dick Banks, Um, Dave damashek Show fame and

925
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 1: was nice enough years ago to give us our team

926
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 1: of a t L and no team of a t

927
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 1: M theme. The Detroit Lions are the team around the

928
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 1: NFL and Mark Sesler with the fourth fourth overall pick,

929
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 1: has selected the Lions hosting the Seattle Seahawks at Ford Field.

930
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: Interesting pick, I guess it is, but it is the

931
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 1: team of the of a t L and it is

932
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 1: to me one of the more interesting matchups because I

933
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 1: think this is the game where Detroit drops an a

934
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:50,919
Speaker 1: bomb on someone. Seattle's defense is a wanting mess, and

935
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:55,879
Speaker 1: the Lions, you know, they're record aside, their offense has

936
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: been versatile, it's been able to damage people. They have.

937
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: They're the one of the only teams in the league

938
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: with six players with eighties scrimmage. George so spreading the

939
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,319
Speaker 1: ball around two different running backs, different receivers. Jared Goff,

940
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,839
Speaker 1: who I've often found to be essentially like a bowl

941
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: of vanilla ice cream, I think fits on this. Yeah,

942
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 1: scrambled egg port although both ways that you describe scrambled

943
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 1: eggs Henry and you sounded gross to me, But that

944
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,760
Speaker 1: only came back with the hard boiled eggs on Sunday

945
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 1: at the office and he almost passed out. We just

946
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,800
Speaker 1: needed some food, you know, sitting there like like eating

947
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 1: these like sitting there eating are like one of the

948
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: you know, items of food that have kept humanity alive

949
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: for hundreds of years. There's like an animal dead animal

950
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: in there if you think about it. But anyway, mean

951
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 1: you don't have to kill them for the eggs. You can,

952
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 1: you can just have them lay eggs. I like this matchup.

953
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: I I am surprised, but I I would really look

954
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 1: forward to the well in there. If you think about it.

955
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Greg. So this is tough. We're taping on Thursday.

956
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 1: That's always early in the week. It's especially early because

957
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 1: we're on London time. It's it's two am or four

958
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: am back in l A. On Wednesday, Mark the Lions

959
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 1: had seven offensive starters missed practice. Now, I don't think

960
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: all of those guys are gonna miss the game, but

961
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,360
Speaker 1: it was there. It was their three offensive linemen, include

962
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,839
Speaker 1: including rag Now and including Jonah Jackson, their guards. It

963
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 1: was not only DeAndre Swift who is expected to miss

964
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 1: this game, but I'm in raw St Brown and then

965
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: oh on top of it, T J. Hockenson and Josh

966
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 1: Reynolds missed practice too. So I don't think there's as

967
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,799
Speaker 1: much pessimism about those guys, but it's uncertain when you

968
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 1: totally miss practice. If they're missing six or seven offensive starters,

969
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: I know they've been cooking up some good scheme that

970
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: that's that's pretty rough. I mean, that's as injured as

971
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 1: any team in the NFL. Brown Swift, they've they've shown

972
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,799
Speaker 1: this year, even when Swift has been in and out

973
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: of the lineup, that they can continue to attack teams.

974
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 1: I thought, once you took Swift out and aman Ross

975
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 1: st Brown, you saw a weekend a weekend version of

976
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 1: their attack last week. So you know, I like the

977
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:17,839
Speaker 1: I like the lines a lot in this game. That

978
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: was a bad loss last week against Minnesota. I like

979
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 1: that Dan Campbell owned it um. But also with Campbell,

980
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: I I do have some concerns because sometimes he's a

981
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: very black and white guy that he might now to

982
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: make up a statement, get super aggressive on fourth downs

983
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: and things of that nature, and maybe he doesn't have

984
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:42,320
Speaker 1: the offense as currently stands to back up the go nads.

985
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: He's going to want to show that he has and

986
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: the faith that he has in his offense after he

987
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 1: almost tearfully apologized for kicking that or attempting that field

988
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 1: goal at the end of the game and inadvertently costing

989
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 1: them the game. All that said, we've talked about the

990
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: Seahawks and Geno Smith a lot on the show. Um,

991
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,359
Speaker 1: I don't think they are a good team at all.

992
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:02,439
Speaker 1: I don't think they are going to be a team

993
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: that travels well. I think the Lions have a real

994
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 1: home field advantage. I like Jared gosps ability to score

995
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 1: enough points here, and I don't think Seattle is going

996
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: to score more than seventeen points here. I like this

997
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,840
Speaker 1: as like a twenty seven seventeen Lions. When I like

998
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: it so much, I'm gonna go ahead and lock up

999
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 1: the team of around the NFL wanted two team on

1000
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,799
Speaker 1: a two game losing streak. Well, I want to tell

1001
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 1: you something because this has worked out for us, and

1002
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 1: this was already in my Seattle already in my notes.

1003
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 1: I see it right there, Brother eleven and two career

1004
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: mark check out Gregg in the rear view mirror by

1005
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: Bi Greggy. What are we tired? What are we looking at?

1006
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: Are we in having me? Yes? I don't work well.

1007
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,360
Speaker 1: Last year we were, and once we locked this and

1008
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 1: moved to three and one, we will be. But not

1009
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 1: this year. Right, you're all two and one, West bros

1010
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:05,399
Speaker 1: And me are one and two. So that there there

1011
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 1: and the listeners, So I do like it. What about

1012
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 1: all the individuals listeners are a mess right now? What

1013
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 1: are the listeners that we don't think? Finally locked a

1014
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 1: correct winner last week and it took him that long,

1015
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: so they needed another preseas all right, I guess I

1016
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 1: gotta I'm torn here, Gino against the double Well, I'm

1017
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 1: definitely not locking against the team of a t L

1018
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:27,840
Speaker 1: and I do think they'll win too. I think you

1019
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 1: guys will get this right. Good. Any other thoughts in

1020
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 1: this game before we move on? Just that, Seattle, I

1021
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:36,320
Speaker 1: think did find someone in Tariq Willin, this rookie quarter

1022
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 1: cornerback who is six four five pounds and ran a

1023
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 1: four to sixty and was a fifth round pick. And

1024
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:47,479
Speaker 1: he's bawling out like they like. When Pete Carroll sees

1025
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 1: a guy with that sort of measurements, he just takes him. Anyways.

1026
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 1: He played at I think U T. S A and

1027
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: like not that well, and yet he's bawling out at

1028
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 1: the NFL level. So sometimes you should just take the workout, guys,

1029
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 1: because he's looking great. Well once spot a time, right,

1030
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 1: It's one thing, it's the one positive they have going

1031
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:07,399
Speaker 1: for Do you came back better? Maybe our defensive rookie

1032
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:09,839
Speaker 1: of the year, can if he kept getting better, showed

1033
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,760
Speaker 1: up a combine looking like a Greek god and everyone

1034
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: couldn't get over it. And then there he was sitting

1035
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:16,839
Speaker 1: in the second round for Seattle and that worked out

1036
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 1: pretty well for him. Maybe this is a um the

1037
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,879
Speaker 1: defensive version of this. All right, so we move on,

1038
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 1: Let's take a break, and we'll be right back. All right,

1039
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 1: we're back six Mark, You're up, gonna go Brown's Falcons

1040
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:33,839
Speaker 1: one pm Eastern if you live on the East coast

1041
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 1: of the United States, that's when it starts. Finally shows

1042
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: his hand. Well, no, because this this to me, uh,

1043
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 1: it's not just the Browns, which a Kobe Risett, but

1044
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: I think the Falcons to me have been one of

1045
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,400
Speaker 1: my pet teams this entire although I'm not sure the

1046
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 1: falcon is a you could have a pet as a

1047
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 1: falcon is a pet. Sure, Yeah, totally. I think Arthur

1048
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:01,839
Speaker 1: Smith is an underrated head coach. I think Kevin Stefanski

1049
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: has done a good job with Cleveland's offense, and Jacoby Brissette, especially,

1050
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 1: who seems to fit in the the Stefanski scheme. He

1051
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 1: ranks top ten and completion percentage passerrating. I mean if anything,

1052
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:15,840
Speaker 1: I could get the vibe from like Brissette that I

1053
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,440
Speaker 1: didn't really understand him this way before. I think he's

1054
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:20,720
Speaker 1: just been kind of a tough mother in that offense,

1055
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 1: like he just sort of fits what Cleveland's been and

1056
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: he's unlocked to Marie Cooper, and I want to see

1057
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:29,400
Speaker 1: a game where Marcus Mariotta does not have maybe the

1058
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 1: killer turnover. He said that like each week there's been

1059
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 1: like a moment where Mark Smyri does all these heroic things,

1060
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 1: and then there's the I think it is who he is,

1061
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 1: but I also think that there was another world where

1062
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 1: at this point Desmond Ritter was the starter, where Mariota,

1063
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:44,360
Speaker 1: like in two weeks, showed himself to be such a

1064
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 1: mess and not a not the right thing. And instead

1065
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,400
Speaker 1: I think he's kind of risen them up to some degree,

1066
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 1: and their offense has been really watchable. You've got the

1067
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 1: number one rusher and Nick Chubb, who's my kind of player,

1068
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 1: Cordarrel Patterson who has had a rebirth in Atlanta. I

1069
00:56:58,239 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 1: like this matchup. These have been to top ten off,

1070
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 1: which is crazy. Stefanski having the Browns that I know

1071
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 1: it's only three games, and you know schedules been whatever,

1072
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:10,279
Speaker 1: but the top five offense. That is some coaching and

1073
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 1: with some new pieces everywhere really other than the running game,

1074
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: like Stefanski's got his groove back, I just feel like

1075
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: he is winning the divorce with Baker Mayfield in such

1076
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 1: a like vicious way. It's a it's I don't know

1077
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 1: if it's underrated, but it's regain, you know, I'm I'm

1078
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 1: bringing back the whole, like oh yeah, Kevin Stefanski coached

1079
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 1: his freaking ass off in And I don't think this

1080
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:33,520
Speaker 1: is a crazy pick at all. I do wonder what

1081
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 1: Desmond Ritter would look like with this Atlanta team. At

1082
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 1: some point he will play, and I think that the

1083
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 1: success they're having actually bodes well that that they can

1084
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 1: replace Mariota and still get a lot done. I think

1085
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 1: the Falcons could win this game. Myles Garrett may not play.

1086
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 1: The Browns defense has been lackluster. I would say Joe

1087
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 1: Woods under some fire as their coordinator, and I think

1088
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 1: this is a tough team to prepare for. I think

1089
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 1: Arthur Smith has done a good job really setting up

1090
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 1: come out of advantage. As you saw Kyle Pitts. You know,

1091
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 1: this big guy pounds taking the top off a defense

1092
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 1: like they just present quarterback right, but they present certain

1093
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 1: challenges other teams don't that it should be a fun

1094
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 1: one one note, Miles Garrett, we did we off of

1095
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 1: that car accident with the car flipped has a shoulder sprain,

1096
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 1: strained biceps and lacerations. So if he doesn't play and

1097
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 1: Clowney has been banged up and they loft the cuple

1098
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 1: other defense, it's a good defense. Yeah, the Falcons are

1099
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 1: certified frisky. They are they have a big three. They

1100
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 1: legitimately have a big three and pits Drake, London and Patterson.

1101
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 1: Those are guys that if you can, if you could

1102
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 1: block for them, if you can give them, if you

1103
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 1: can give the quarterback time to go through his progressions,

1104
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 1: and if you have an offensive play caller you believe in,

1105
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 1: which we do in Arthur Smith. I don't think it's

1106
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 1: a m I don't think this is some type of

1107
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 1: mirage that their offense is something that can put it

1108
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 1: points so the game. I mean, they got to think

1109
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 1: about this as a winnable game for them. They're barely

1110
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 1: underdoctor almost what your viewpoint like, what your viewpoint is

1111
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 1: on in on a team. I think that their offense.

1112
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 1: There was as there was a sense of hesitancy with

1113
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:18,920
Speaker 1: you to the yeah, but well then you missed the

1114
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: episode that I was on talking about before the season started.

1115
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 1: The Falcons will better than people realize an offense, and

1116
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 1: it's for these reasons. I think they're definitely better than

1117
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 1: last year, and I think they have a chance here

1118
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 1: to put a get a win here. I think they

1119
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 1: have a shot now. And I do think what you're

1120
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 1: saying about Myles Garrett is a big part of this.

1121
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 1: We don't know. We know now what the general injuries are,

1122
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 1: How serious is it truly because there's obviously there's going

1123
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 1: to be a bit of a media blackout here. If

1124
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 1: you take Myles Garrett out of this Cleveland defense, it

1125
00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 1: takes a lot of air out of the balloon of

1126
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 1: the entire team. So and can Jacoby Brissette continue this?

1127
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 1: That's this has been a real story like he has

1128
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 1: played as him, it doesn't center around him. But I

1129
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 1: probably think you're gonna get a bset game where we're like, oh,

1130
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a berserker game from DNPS. Almost every

1131
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 1: game is a berserker game. But he's just gonna send

1132
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 1: a million blitzes and see if the Browns can handle it.

1133
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 1: And uh, so far they've been up for the challenge. Mariota,

1134
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:22,440
Speaker 1: though I don't. That's what keeps me from really saying,

1135
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: all right, let's get behind the Falcons is like a

1136
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 1: Jaguars esque fun team in the NFC. Is he going

1137
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 1: to continue to kind of kill them? And then the

1138
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 1: defense won't be good enough and things get Mariota. You know,

1139
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 1: if if our good friend West was here, I think

1140
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 1: he would bring up some like stat analytics that like

1141
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 1: I've been bringing up for Gino Smith, like Mariota has

1142
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 1: been fine. He has, but he's had bad mistakes. It's

1143
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 1: just that time. All right, let's see up next would

1144
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 1: be Greg So the four pm hour on the East

1145
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 1: Coast is the worst of the season. I would say

1146
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 1: this year, there's no game that really rights my fancy,

1147
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna take Broncos Raiders. There's yeah, h so

1148
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 1: I figured I might as well take the most interesting game.

1149
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:10,439
Speaker 1: To me. I'm a little curious about Brian how here,

1150
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:14,960
Speaker 1: but maybe they'll stick around. Broncos Raiders season on the line.

1151
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 1: For the Raiders, I just feel like you can't fall

1152
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 1: to Owen four. I think if they're one in three

1153
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 1: in that division like that, it's a long season. There's

1154
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 1: seventeen games. They have enough talent, they've been in all

1155
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 1: these games that you can make a case for them,

1156
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 1: but it's getting late early, and so I like that

1157
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: there's something really at stake for this team. And I'm

1158
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:36,440
Speaker 1: curious if this Denver team, it doesn't feel like a

1159
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 1: three in one type of team that but has played

1160
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:42,160
Speaker 1: good defense, uh can build on their fourth quarter. That

1161
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 1: was certainly the best quarter I would say of Russell

1162
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 1: Wilson's season, and that they're doing that thing where they're like, oh,

1163
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:49,919
Speaker 1: the real Russell Wilson finally came out. It's like, okay, well,

1164
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 1: why does that quarter matter more than then the rest

1165
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 1: of the season. We'll see if that continues, right, That

1166
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:58,840
Speaker 1: was a little bit on my radar. Is a trope

1167
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:01,360
Speaker 1: after this game because you could imagine that's how it

1168
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 1: was covered by the local papers and the questions that

1169
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 1: Hackett was answering in the press conferences, like how do

1170
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 1: you take that final game winning drive or go ahead

1171
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:14,360
Speaker 1: drive and replicated because that's the offense you were talking about.

1172
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, yes, that's what we've been going for

1173
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 1: all year and we hope to build on it. All right,

1174
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 1: so let's see it. Let's see it against a Raiders

1175
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 1: team that did you know? This surprised me actually, And

1176
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 1: now there's you know, um an extra playoff team and

1177
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 1: all that there's only been one team since two thousand

1178
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 1: that's made the playoffs after oh and three, I thought

1179
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:40,440
Speaker 1: that that wouldn't be quite was it? The cults charge?

1180
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly, um, but I call up our

1181
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 1: research that yeah, let's let's see who that was. But

1182
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 1: so they're oh and three? This is not a loser

1183
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:53,080
Speaker 1: home goes home match because the Broncos b all right,

1184
01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 1: but the Raiders have now moved past the cornered animal

1185
01:02:56,840 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 1: and now they're the you know, Exan's what a magical

1186
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 1: run that was? Don't know that must have been a J. J.

1187
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 1: Watt's Deshaun Watson starting out the season slow and then yeah,

1188
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 1: the Raiders now were like the animal that's kind of

1189
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 1: twitching on the ground, and it's like, is this just

1190
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 1: poking it with a stick? Is this is this it

1191
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 1: for the Raiders? Are they going down in flames? And

1192
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 1: I kind of think, man if I if I wasn't

1193
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 1: locking up the Lions that I would go with the

1194
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 1: Raiders here because they have had their favorite favored which

1195
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 1: is crazy. They've had the ball with a chance of

1196
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 1: winter tie all three of these losses against the Chargers, Cardinals,

1197
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 1: and Titans, and yes they didn't get it done. But

1198
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:39,480
Speaker 1: this is not a team that's completely in some type

1199
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:42,080
Speaker 1: of hideous free fall. And I think there is an

1200
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 1: urgency a team plays with in this position when it

1201
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 1: has ability, which they certainly have. And on the flip

1202
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:49,479
Speaker 1: side of the Broncos, who haven't really shown us much,

1203
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 1: especially on offense, So I feel very confident about the Raiders.

1204
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 1: I think with Denver, I mean, if they can figure

1205
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 1: out their red zone situation, they could be a very

1206
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:03,439
Speaker 1: different team because there top you know, for top ten

1207
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,040
Speaker 1: in the league in terms of yards per drive, but

1208
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 1: they are in terms of points per drive a stat

1209
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 1: for you. Another one unleash they are dead last in

1210
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 1: red zone offense. The Raiders are twenty six, by the way,

1211
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 1: and first in red zone defense. That's dramatic. So well,

1212
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 1: that's the one on the other Outeah. That's why you're

1213
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 1: seeing a lot of field goal games. I mean, to

1214
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 1: the eye, the Broncos have been the most boring offense

1215
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 1: I've watched in the league. Why, Wow, well, who, I

1216
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 1: mean trying to think who would challenge? Like, Actually, the

1217
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 1: Panthers are so bad that it's to me it's watching

1218
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 1: a couple of big plays here and there. Though they've

1219
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:42,680
Speaker 1: had a couple of big plays here and there. And

1220
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:45,880
Speaker 1: I've also just not watched the Panthers that closely, not

1221
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 1: as closely as I've watched them. Guy Baker really thinking,

1222
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:56,920
Speaker 1: what's a selling point, Greig? Think you, um, all right,

1223
01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:58,080
Speaker 1: that's a good guy. I was. I was going to

1224
01:04:58,160 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 1: take that, Greg, So I'm a little annoyed at you.

1225
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 1: It's not personal, but that that was my That was

1226
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 1: a pivot point for my draft. I mean, the four

1227
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:09,200
Speaker 1: PM games are pretty lackluster. That felt slightly better than

1228
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:11,120
Speaker 1: what was it about the offense that you thought on

1229
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 1: that last drive? It was that, Yeah, he moved in

1230
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 1: the pocket, he was able to hit guys on the run.

1231
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:20,840
Speaker 1: I thought, it's I think it's been strange, and I

1232
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 1: understand he's a little older now and they need to

1233
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 1: protect their investment. But I think part of what made

1234
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson great with Seattle was that he did kill

1235
01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 1: you on the ground. As well. He would bail on

1236
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:34,200
Speaker 1: the pocket all of a sudden. He's just like pure

1237
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:37,919
Speaker 1: like Flacco esque statue in the pocket, not in terms

1238
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 1: of he's that vulnerable in the pocket, but he's just

1239
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 1: that's where he lives. And I think there's something to

1240
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 1: be said for being a little bit more of a

1241
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:48,200
Speaker 1: dual threat, which you truly was. He He was one

1242
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 1: of my favorite quarterbacks um during the you know, the

1243
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:55,120
Speaker 1: mid term run with Seattle, because he did everything right

1244
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 1: and he was so proficient you just were like, damn it,

1245
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 1: he's like basically robotic. And that guy is not there

1246
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 1: right now. I don't know if he's gone. Um And

1247
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:05,160
Speaker 1: I know, Greg, that's something that you've been on in

1248
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 1: the past, that he's just not the same guy anymore,

1249
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 1: or he's just lost touch a little bit with what

1250
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 1: made him physically and uh yeah. Our friend of the show,

1251
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 1: Mina Kimes has been on it, has been saying that's

1252
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:16,520
Speaker 1: one of the reasons she had some sources with the

1253
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 1: Seahawks is that they thought he'd age well because I

1254
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 1: mean age poorly, sorry, age poorly, because of the lack

1255
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:24,000
Speaker 1: of athleticism that when he doesn't have that, it might

1256
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 1: not really translate. All right. Uh, that now brings it

1257
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:33,919
Speaker 1: to me and I'm annoyed. As I said, I'm annoyed now, Greg,

1258
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:36,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask your help for this, um and I'm

1259
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 1: gonna go with at Indianapolis. Ah, Yes, another game too early.

1260
01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 1: It's entirely too early, uh for Tennessee at Indianapolis to

1261
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 1: play twice before we gate, um and you know once

1262
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 1: this time of year. Sure, but then you put the

1263
01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:56,120
Speaker 1: other one in the back end. But it is what

1264
01:06:56,160 --> 01:07:01,439
Speaker 1: it is. Indianapolis one one and one after a much

1265
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 1: needed victory over the Chiefs of all teams. But I

1266
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:08,040
Speaker 1: didn't think they look that good doing it. Graver. I'm

1267
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:09,840
Speaker 1: curious your thoughts, like when you kind of went back

1268
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:12,360
Speaker 1: and took a close look at the game, did you

1269
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:15,160
Speaker 1: see things from the Titans that you thought are sustainable

1270
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 1: and do you think they match up well against the

1271
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 1: culture right now? I think there were things that were sustainable.

1272
01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:22,640
Speaker 1: The Titans second half offense floundered again, but if you

1273
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 1: really look at like the plays that ended those drives,

1274
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 1: it was like misques, like Austin Hooper falling down one

1275
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:31,240
Speaker 1: yard short of the line to gain and not like

1276
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 1: rolling for the first down or the play where Traylon

1277
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 1: Burke's jumps for a past that's a little bit behind

1278
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:39,200
Speaker 1: him that if like he doesn't jump or tannehills out

1279
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 1: under pressure, they convert that and keep the ball. I

1280
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:43,880
Speaker 1: am worried from a matchup standpoint because the Titans have

1281
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:47,040
Speaker 1: struggled to stop the run, especially without Harold Landry, who

1282
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 1: was such a good edge setter. That's had a cascading

1283
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:52,960
Speaker 1: effect where the middle linebackers have to worry more about

1284
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 1: containing the outside and they can't just flow straight down

1285
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:57,080
Speaker 1: the middle like they were able to in the past.

1286
01:07:57,120 --> 01:08:00,080
Speaker 1: And you know, Indies going to run the ball and

1287
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 1: pounded with Jonathan Taylor and that's where they want, you know,

1288
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:04,760
Speaker 1: to be the base of their offense. So from that standpoint,

1289
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:07,560
Speaker 1: I am concerned. But Indie average three point eight yards

1290
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:10,040
Speaker 1: per play against the Chiefs and somehow beat Patrick Mahomes

1291
01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:12,880
Speaker 1: doing that, which is just crazy. So many misques on

1292
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:15,560
Speaker 1: Kansas City side. That is a Titans fan, I'm like,

1293
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:17,360
Speaker 1: there's no way Indie can get that lucky with the

1294
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 1: other team making mistakes. Three and a half point underdogs

1295
01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 1: in this game, they are on the road. I mean,

1296
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:28,360
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna bring out the rainmaker. But I like

1297
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 1: the Titans quite a bit. Where is the rainmaker, by

1298
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:34,559
Speaker 1: the way, Well, it's here in London, in sprinkling. Um,

1299
01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:36,320
Speaker 1: all right, dude, do we have the drop ready? Let's

1300
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 1: bring it out. Let's go Titans. I don't know why

1301
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:42,680
Speaker 1: you pressured me into that when I'm sitting on one

1302
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:45,760
Speaker 1: and oh now they don't have to wind pressure. You

1303
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:49,000
Speaker 1: just asked where the rainmaker was. Well, yeah, Mark, Mark

1304
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:51,680
Speaker 1: said something to and I do feel good about this one,

1305
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 1: and they don't have to win if they lose by

1306
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:55,639
Speaker 1: one or two. I'm sorry for you, graver, but I'm

1307
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:57,920
Speaker 1: still dancing in the rain. You were not pressured into it.

1308
01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:00,840
Speaker 1: But I agree with you that the spread stands out

1309
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 1: to me as ABSURDA I don't believe in this Colts

1310
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 1: team it was. I was glad to watch Tony Romo

1311
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:08,920
Speaker 1: last week because he was very pointed about how slow

1312
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:10,760
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan has been to pick up the system. He

1313
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:13,160
Speaker 1: gave us some real information that I could tell he's

1314
01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:15,760
Speaker 1: either gotten from his tape or more likely from watching Ryan.

1315
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 1: That Ryan does not have the answers right now yet

1316
01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 1: like you think, oh he's a veteran quarterback, he has

1317
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:23,599
Speaker 1: the answers. There's so much problem they don't because everybody

1318
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:26,000
Speaker 1: loves Tony. Romo is talking to Tony about certain things.

1319
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:28,400
Speaker 1: So if he's picking up the offense slow and in

1320
01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:33,040
Speaker 1: general he's slow. Uh. And then you have Jonathan Taylor,

1321
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:35,680
Speaker 1: who was I had a huge Week one and it

1322
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 1: was like, oh more the same from Jonathan Taylor. They

1323
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:39,800
Speaker 1: gave him the ball twenty one times in the average

1324
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 1: less than three and a half yards to carry, So

1325
01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:44,120
Speaker 1: the run blocking is still not there. In addition to

1326
01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:48,040
Speaker 1: the past protection, Um still being suspect. I just you know,

1327
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 1: don't let me down. Titans now part of your group.

1328
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:54,400
Speaker 1: I thought it was a good sign that Derrick Henry

1329
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:56,720
Speaker 1: looked like Derrick Henry to me last week. And it's

1330
01:09:56,800 --> 01:10:00,479
Speaker 1: it's very it's very on brand graver for the Titans

1331
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:03,360
Speaker 1: to look as bad as they did um and start

1332
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 1: oh and two and then to reel off several wins

1333
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:08,160
Speaker 1: in a row and then kind of put themselves back

1334
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:10,800
Speaker 1: in and good graces of the a f C South.

1335
01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:13,760
Speaker 1: So another one I feel very good about is the

1336
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 1: Titans taking care of business here. Kiss of death. Yeah,

1337
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:20,680
Speaker 1: that is scary when everyone's confident in something, but just

1338
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:22,920
Speaker 1: the Cults know they just beat the Chiefs, but the

1339
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:26,920
Speaker 1: game and say, okay, the Cults are better now. I

1340
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:33,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't even say they beat the Chiefs. It just solid

1341
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:36,600
Speaker 1: moment where the Chiefs beat themselves slightly came out. But

1342
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:38,880
Speaker 1: I would say they're the worst offense in the NFL

1343
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:41,840
Speaker 1: right now, them in the Panthers, I would say, not,

1344
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:45,000
Speaker 1: it's not good, it's not good. All right. Uh, let's uh,

1345
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:54,599
Speaker 1: let's go with let's pick up the pace time for sure, Greggy,

1346
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:56,960
Speaker 1: good news for you, because I'm gonna stay away from

1347
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:00,400
Speaker 1: the late window here. Um, I will take to take

1348
01:11:00,439 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 1: one in the late window. There's three of us. You're

1349
01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:04,640
Speaker 1: not gonna not take one, of course I will, but

1350
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:08,280
Speaker 1: I'll take whatever is there that's generous of you. Yeah,

1351
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:10,040
Speaker 1: I'll take whatever is left over because I know I'm

1352
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:12,720
Speaker 1: gonna watch. I'll be watching Denver Las Vegas as well,

1353
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 1: and then i'll have a second screen on the other

1354
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:18,679
Speaker 1: guy A K A. I'll be watching Arizona and Carolina

1355
01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:22,479
Speaker 1: on the plane coming home. Um, anyway, let's go with

1356
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:26,559
Speaker 1: Jets at Pittsburgh. Zack Wilson is returning. He was cleared

1357
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:30,360
Speaker 1: to play, and um, I think I mentioned it to

1358
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:33,760
Speaker 1: you guys actually at the airport. UM, as a Jets fan,

1359
01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:36,040
Speaker 1: it's like, man, this is not a good This doesn't

1360
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 1: feel good. It doesn't feel like a good set up

1361
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:43,400
Speaker 1: here that the team has mostly disappointed. UM since uh

1362
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:46,920
Speaker 1: the season start started, after all the good vibes, and

1363
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:49,000
Speaker 1: now you're in a position where Zach Wilson, who was

1364
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 1: very much a question mark, you're asking him to ride

1365
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:54,760
Speaker 1: in and save the day. And it's like, uh, And

1366
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:57,760
Speaker 1: then you have this situation at left tackle. And yes,

1367
01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:01,000
Speaker 1: I understand we're gonna get to the chart Jers, but

1368
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 1: they're snake bitten. But the Jets now have three their

1369
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:07,439
Speaker 1: top top three left tackles, and I are McKay back

1370
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:10,600
Speaker 1: then Dwayne Brown and now George fan All and I

1371
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:12,960
Speaker 1: are And now the Jets are going to start on

1372
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:16,360
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson's blind side, and thankfully t J. Wattson playing

1373
01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern who has no experience, and it's basically a

1374
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:23,439
Speaker 1: swing tackle type guy at left tackle. So it sets

1375
01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:26,479
Speaker 1: up very poorly for an offensive line that has not

1376
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 1: played well. For Zach Wilson to now enter rusty and

1377
01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:33,720
Speaker 1: cold after missing a month plus with knee surgery, and uh,

1378
01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:36,479
Speaker 1: it's for the Pittsburgh Steelers. I think it's a it's

1379
01:12:36,479 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 1: a good matchup for them. Even as they've been they

1380
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:41,080
Speaker 1: have not been the same team defensively. We talked a

1381
01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:43,360
Speaker 1: lot about Mitch and the offense. They have not been

1382
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:45,760
Speaker 1: the same defensively. They haven't been getting to the quarterback.

1383
01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:48,360
Speaker 1: But I think the Jets in this state, and with

1384
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: Wilson being inexperienced and unproven, this is this is a

1385
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:54,760
Speaker 1: This is really set up for the Steelers to have

1386
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:57,160
Speaker 1: a big defensive game. I think. I think you're right,

1387
01:12:57,240 --> 01:12:59,519
Speaker 1: But I also could see the Jets defense if they're

1388
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:02,200
Speaker 1: gonna do anything at any point this season, this could

1389
01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:04,160
Speaker 1: be a success point for them too, because if you

1390
01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 1: look at Mitch Robisky, his yards per attempt with the

1391
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 1: lowest in the league. This is a stoppable offense. I

1392
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:12,280
Speaker 1: don't think the ground game is that special. Their offensive

1393
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 1: line is vulnerable, and their passing game is essentially ruddimentary.

1394
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:18,559
Speaker 1: It's it's it's lower than NFL level in terms of

1395
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 1: what they accomplish, what they try to accomplish. Then with

1396
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:23,559
Speaker 1: doing less, I agree, but they're not using in the

1397
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:25,960
Speaker 1: right way, like and we're on like fifty times a

1398
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:27,760
Speaker 1: game with Joe Flacca. I mean, Zack Wilson is the

1399
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 1: total mystery here. Is he gonna stink or is he

1400
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:32,840
Speaker 1: gonna be uh take a second year leap who knows

1401
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:35,080
Speaker 1: it's their only chance now because here to see him.

1402
01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:36,960
Speaker 1: I mean, don't you agree that, like you needed to

1403
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:39,760
Speaker 1: get him in the You just I just I just

1404
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:43,600
Speaker 1: wish it came where the offensive line was in a

1405
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:46,760
Speaker 1: better position because it hasn't played well overall and now

1406
01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:48,680
Speaker 1: you have Can I counter that with one thing, Like,

1407
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:50,599
Speaker 1: no matter who you are, if you want to find

1408
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:52,679
Speaker 1: out what your quarterback is, I kind of like put

1409
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:54,560
Speaker 1: him into a tough situation. I know, I get that

1410
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:56,479
Speaker 1: you want to want everything to be perfect, but like

1411
01:13:56,600 --> 01:13:58,640
Speaker 1: if he's gonna be the dude, like he's gonna have

1412
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:01,080
Speaker 1: to figure out questions. I don't think there's been any

1413
01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:03,800
Speaker 1: signs so far that he is the dude. What I'm

1414
01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:07,639
Speaker 1: saying is is that as a Jets fan, that feels

1415
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:10,000
Speaker 1: like the only thing now standing in the way of

1416
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:14,160
Speaker 1: another five and twelve, four and thirteen, three and fourteen

1417
01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:17,439
Speaker 1: season is Wilson stepping up, and there's a very real

1418
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:21,000
Speaker 1: possibility he struggles and then it's like, oh my god,

1419
01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:25,160
Speaker 1: what we're starting over again. That's so this is such

1420
01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:29,719
Speaker 1: an important we are is a good matchup, no teaching

1421
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:31,200
Speaker 1: your team has been as bad as this team has

1422
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:34,160
Speaker 1: been for ten straight years. You you you expect the worst,

1423
01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:37,200
Speaker 1: and I just I'm very concerned he's going to be

1424
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:39,959
Speaker 1: running into a bus. And you're right about the Steelers

1425
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,439
Speaker 1: offense can't even get three hundred yards of game. But

1426
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:45,040
Speaker 1: the Jets have been giving up big plays. They haven't

1427
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:47,400
Speaker 1: been getting to the quarterback enough and there's been a

1428
01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:49,519
Speaker 1: lot of miscommunications on the field that goes right back

1429
01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:53,200
Speaker 1: to Robert sal solid head coach. We need more results,

1430
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:56,680
Speaker 1: less received. Yeah, the miscommunications are a problem because if

1431
01:14:56,680 --> 01:15:00,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna a roadmap for success this year for the

1432
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:03,280
Speaker 1: Jets is don't beat yourself, and they're beating themselves with

1433
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:06,439
Speaker 1: these blown coverages more than any team. It's also like

1434
01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:08,960
Speaker 1: take care of the ball. I think they're minus three

1435
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:12,040
Speaker 1: in turnover margin. They're one of the last teams in

1436
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:15,080
Speaker 1: the league in terms of forcing turnovers where the Steelers

1437
01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 1: are our plus three. They don't have t J. Watt,

1438
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:19,920
Speaker 1: But I just feel like Tomlin is good at winning

1439
01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:22,599
Speaker 1: these sorts of games, and I like what they did

1440
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:26,400
Speaker 1: offensively that they at least gave Claypool and Johnson and

1441
01:15:26,479 --> 01:15:28,840
Speaker 1: Picking some more chances to make plays down the field.

1442
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:31,559
Speaker 1: That should work this week. And I'm with you, Dan,

1443
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:33,160
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a good spot for the Jets

1444
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:37,960
Speaker 1: at all. And that's why I'm locking up the Steelers good.

1445
01:15:39,479 --> 01:15:43,479
Speaker 1: That's rough. It is rough to lock up Mitchard whisky,

1446
01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:45,760
Speaker 1: and then I could have regrets. I think Jessica's board

1447
01:15:45,800 --> 01:15:48,040
Speaker 1: of us by now, it's a long show. I got

1448
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:50,880
Speaker 1: made the decision to come and sit in on the

1449
01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:54,240
Speaker 1: Thursday preview show. Right now, out of the town. She

1450
01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:57,720
Speaker 1: could be taking photographs of beautiful London. Well, she is

1451
01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 1: modeling our NFL podcast, Merch Polo, which you can find

1452
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:06,559
Speaker 1: on sale on No wait, we've never sold merch. I

1453
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:09,680
Speaker 1: guess no one's thought that that could. Literally, there's no

1454
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:13,920
Speaker 1: way for any of our fans to rep NFL Media's

1455
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:18,479
Speaker 1: Flection podcast. All right, let's get into the next pick, Greggy.

1456
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:20,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna power through the rest here. Let's do it.

1457
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:26,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Chargers Texans, which is not a good game,

1458
01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:29,640
Speaker 1: but I just I'm interested at the result as my

1459
01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:34,439
Speaker 1: backup early game because just like how low can the

1460
01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:37,759
Speaker 1: Chargers go really? And I mean, this is a great

1461
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:40,720
Speaker 1: gift from the scheduling gods that you got the Texans

1462
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:43,160
Speaker 1: this week of all week. As you're adjusting, they hope

1463
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:45,960
Speaker 1: maybe they can get Keenan Allen back. Herbert will be

1464
01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 1: a week healthier, but no Bosa who went on injured reserve,

1465
01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:55,800
Speaker 1: no race Sian Slater as we know, and in this

1466
01:16:56,680 --> 01:16:59,720
Speaker 1: situation in the same week is it's almost hard to

1467
01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:03,840
Speaker 1: fat them. It's it's sad and and this is a

1468
01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:07,400
Speaker 1: game that tripped him up last year. I remember because

1469
01:17:07,439 --> 01:17:09,640
Speaker 1: I covered and drafted this game a year ago to

1470
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:13,120
Speaker 1: the Texans with David Meals put a forty burger on

1471
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:15,680
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Don't you remember that? That was kind of

1472
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:17,960
Speaker 1: the game where I was like, whoa is Davis Mills something?

1473
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:19,960
Speaker 1: They put a forty burger on the Chargers when the

1474
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:22,960
Speaker 1: Chargers were decent and trying to get to the playoffs. Uh.

1475
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:25,320
Speaker 1: The reason I feel good about the Chargers this week though,

1476
01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:28,240
Speaker 1: is like that hasn't been that same Davis Mills anything

1477
01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:31,599
Speaker 1: beyond ten yards. He just hasn't shot straight. He just

1478
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:34,960
Speaker 1: like doesn't put the ball where he's trying to put

1479
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,479
Speaker 1: the ball, even when he's protected well, like the ball

1480
01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:39,559
Speaker 1: just doesn't go there, and the ball is just flying

1481
01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:42,400
Speaker 1: over people's heads and and that's it's tough to count

1482
01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:43,880
Speaker 1: on that. So I think the Charges are still in

1483
01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 1: a good spot. They've I mean, if the Chargers fall here,

1484
01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:50,960
Speaker 1: their season essentially to me ends on some level because

1485
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:54,559
Speaker 1: there's so many issues here and and and in Justin Herbert.

1486
01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:56,960
Speaker 1: I get that he's been playing hurt and everything else,

1487
01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:59,280
Speaker 1: but and and Keenan Allen has been out as well.

1488
01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 1: I just don't this is one of the most disappointing

1489
01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:06,160
Speaker 1: teams in the league. I mean, the injuries are crazy,

1490
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:07,720
Speaker 1: that's a huge part of it. But I think if

1491
01:18:07,760 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 1: you're Brandon Staley, like at this point, like that I

1492
01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:12,519
Speaker 1: had so much I was so excited about the Brandon

1493
01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:15,080
Speaker 1: still experience, and Dan, I know that you weren't. Like

1494
01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:17,600
Speaker 1: there are It just sounds like the energy around this

1495
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:20,719
Speaker 1: team is that the players are maybe not buying into

1496
01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:23,559
Speaker 1: what Brandon stalely is selling right now. And that's concerning

1497
01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:25,559
Speaker 1: because I when you we you know, we talked to

1498
01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:27,880
Speaker 1: like the mg d s and stuff, and when when

1499
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:30,080
Speaker 1: they all the whole room, if they're not buying into

1500
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 1: a coaching staff, everything starts to go south very quickly.

1501
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:37,040
Speaker 1: Five Pro bowlers, I mean last week at least, that's

1502
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:40,120
Speaker 1: it's tough. I'm giving them a little bit of a pass.

1503
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:43,760
Speaker 1: The Damian Pierce show finally warmed up last week, had

1504
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:46,800
Speaker 1: a career high twenty two touches, one scrimmage yards and

1505
01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:50,439
Speaker 1: a touchdown at Chicago, so they get that will help

1506
01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:53,600
Speaker 1: Davis Mills and Texans four and a half corner is

1507
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:56,559
Speaker 1: sweating it right now, Mark, we don't get any credit

1508
01:18:56,600 --> 01:19:02,280
Speaker 1: for that tie four and a half season. It's uh,

1509
01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:04,559
Speaker 1: it's not looking great if they don't win this one.

1510
01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:08,240
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to Mark Sessler with your

1511
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:11,680
Speaker 1: third and then four pick. I'm going to take the

1512
01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:17,040
Speaker 1: late game here. I'm gonna go Cardinals at Panthers. I

1513
01:19:17,120 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 1: keep wanting to want to watch the Cardinals, and I'm

1514
01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:23,479
Speaker 1: starting to lose, uh, understanding and reasons why I drafted

1515
01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:26,160
Speaker 1: them every week every week I haven't had I know

1516
01:19:26,200 --> 01:19:28,160
Speaker 1: I did not last week and someone else you took

1517
01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:33,120
Speaker 1: them Rams Cardinals. It was actually sealing right right, right,

1518
01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:38,960
Speaker 1: right right. I was stealing during that game. You have

1519
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:42,599
Speaker 1: like eight screens up. So that's that's impression. Not this week.

1520
01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:45,160
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have any of my technology set

1521
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:47,240
Speaker 1: up here. And how do you feel about that? I'm

1522
01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:49,519
Speaker 1: sitting on a couch that's essentially just been unwrapped from

1523
01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:51,439
Speaker 1: the store. I mean like nothing is going nothing is

1524
01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:54,080
Speaker 1: exactly the way it should be. I woke up late.

1525
01:19:54,200 --> 01:20:00,400
Speaker 1: That's life, isn't it. This Cardinal's offense woke up. Life

1526
01:20:00,439 --> 01:20:05,800
Speaker 1: is what happens when you're plans greatness. John Lennon here,

1527
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:09,680
Speaker 1: this is a great test of like bad does bad

1528
01:20:09,800 --> 01:20:13,200
Speaker 1: offense speed bad defense? Um, because the Cardinals defense has

1529
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:18,800
Speaker 1: been pretty terrible, but the Panther's offense has been even worse.

1530
01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:21,040
Speaker 1: I think the worst. I think I'm being tough on

1531
01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:24,240
Speaker 1: breaker because that game last week was one of the

1532
01:20:24,280 --> 01:20:28,880
Speaker 1: worst starts by a quarterback that will be made all year. Uh,

1533
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:31,439
Speaker 1: he would have had about twelve yards passing if not

1534
01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:35,840
Speaker 1: for that, like a little hitcher out that. That's also

1535
01:20:35,880 --> 01:20:39,599
Speaker 1: true if you look at the Browns game, but terrible

1536
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:42,599
Speaker 1: through the ball ten times to Robby Anderson and d J. Moore.

1537
01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:45,360
Speaker 1: They had sixteen yards and two catches on those. He

1538
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:48,680
Speaker 1: looks unplayable, almost like he p J. Walker at this

1539
01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:51,720
Speaker 1: point would be better. I understand having an optimism that

1540
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:54,840
Speaker 1: it will get better. It should, Uh, it should this week,

1541
01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:56,599
Speaker 1: if ever there was a week to get it going

1542
01:20:56,720 --> 01:20:58,400
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals, he should have some nice I mean,

1543
01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:00,280
Speaker 1: I guess if you're if you're Matt Ryan and you've

1544
01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:01,640
Speaker 1: been in the league for as long as you have,

1545
01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:03,840
Speaker 1: and we're hearing that he's not picking up the Colts offense,

1546
01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:06,479
Speaker 1: I think that could be true. A Baker two, but

1547
01:21:06,520 --> 01:21:10,599
Speaker 1: yourt in total offense thirty one, in passing thirty feet

1548
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:14,160
Speaker 1: on third down in the red zone twenty nine in

1549
01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:16,479
Speaker 1: big place. It's really only been the few big plays

1550
01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:18,800
Speaker 1: they've had that de bailed Baker out of having he

1551
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:20,840
Speaker 1: has where he's had like twenty two yards passed, And

1552
01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:22,800
Speaker 1: maybe that's what it is. It's a combination of him

1553
01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:24,640
Speaker 1: not being comfortable with the offense, but also all the

1554
01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:27,559
Speaker 1: bad habits on the field that plague the end of

1555
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:33,240
Speaker 1: his Cleveland tenure is unsteadiness in the pocket, bad footwork, center, center,

1556
01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:36,559
Speaker 1: quarterback exchange. He had four fumbles is an issue. He

1557
01:21:36,640 --> 01:21:39,280
Speaker 1: bails on the pocket, prematurely throws off the back. But

1558
01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:41,320
Speaker 1: I mean all that stuff is make some place. Kyler,

1559
01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:44,479
Speaker 1: by the way, sorry, it's all yeah, we're not there

1560
01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:46,240
Speaker 1: yet it's got excited. I know you are. I know

1561
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:47,840
Speaker 1: you are, And I think the reason, part of the

1562
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:50,720
Speaker 1: reason you're being so hard on Baker, Greg is that

1563
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:53,439
Speaker 1: you you're a bit of a jilted lover. You were

1564
01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:55,800
Speaker 1: one of the adopters of Baker as a stud, and

1565
01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:58,559
Speaker 1: now we're seeing he's not a stud. Since when was

1566
01:21:58,640 --> 01:22:02,000
Speaker 1: I ever that check you? I was pretty uh pretty

1567
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:04,519
Speaker 1: hard on him and saying he was like a mid

1568
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:07,400
Speaker 1: level quarterback, but I did not think that he could

1569
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:09,280
Speaker 1: play at this level. No. I like this because it

1570
01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:11,760
Speaker 1: feels my Teddy Bridgewater narrative is that they would be

1571
01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:17,280
Speaker 1: a playoff team if they had water narrative. This is

1572
01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:19,320
Speaker 1: the lowest version of Baker we've ever It's it's it

1573
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:25,320
Speaker 1: seems unrescuable. I think they gotta play and there's not

1574
01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:27,200
Speaker 1: much to it. It's just like this is a game

1575
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:29,639
Speaker 1: and I think he's shown it. But you did get

1576
01:22:29,640 --> 01:22:32,519
Speaker 1: that that contract. Just be the guy who makes the

1577
01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:34,519
Speaker 1: players in this game. When this game gets to two

1578
01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:37,760
Speaker 1: and two, and despite some real issues, they'd be in

1579
01:22:37,760 --> 01:22:39,400
Speaker 1: the good show. Because Kyler Murray has done that in

1580
01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:41,840
Speaker 1: only one quarter of this entire season. It's like he

1581
01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:44,120
Speaker 1: seems to go where the offense goes. He doesn't pull

1582
01:22:44,120 --> 01:22:46,080
Speaker 1: the offensive. Although last week was a lot, it was

1583
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:48,360
Speaker 1: not on him. For the most part. Zach Ertz was

1584
01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:51,880
Speaker 1: killing him as a J. Green, uh analytics wise, is

1585
01:22:51,920 --> 01:22:54,519
Speaker 1: the worst receiver in the league. Just can't finish a play.

1586
01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:56,240
Speaker 1: He's out now, which I don't think it is a

1587
01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:58,400
Speaker 1: bad thing unfortunately for Yeah, that I mean and and

1588
01:22:58,520 --> 01:23:00,439
Speaker 1: with a J. Green, I know he made im plays

1589
01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:02,600
Speaker 1: last year, but they had to expect this as a

1590
01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:06,240
Speaker 1: possible outcome. He's he's not nearly the same player anymore.

1591
01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 1: On Carolina side. By the way, Christian McCaffrey's back again

1592
01:23:09,520 --> 01:23:12,880
Speaker 1: on the um injury report with a thigh issue, so

1593
01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:16,240
Speaker 1: we'll see if that's just management or he actually has

1594
01:23:16,280 --> 01:23:18,240
Speaker 1: something going on. These have been two of my least

1595
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:21,880
Speaker 1: favorite teams to watch so far this year, so you know,

1596
01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:24,240
Speaker 1: maybe they'll surprise us and we'll get an entertaining game,

1597
01:23:24,280 --> 01:23:28,360
Speaker 1: but we're not bank on it. All right, Mark back

1598
01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:31,160
Speaker 1: to you. Well, it's not a lot to pick from here,

1599
01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:37,479
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go um Bears Giants for one reason

1600
01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:40,240
Speaker 1: only the Giants. The Bears have been a tough watch.

1601
01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:44,600
Speaker 1: They're they're a disaster on offense. I think justin fields.

1602
01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:47,800
Speaker 1: I wish it were different because I think there's been

1603
01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:50,160
Speaker 1: moments where you wouldn't think that the worst quarterback in

1604
01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:54,040
Speaker 1: the league right now. But I like the Giants. I

1605
01:23:56,280 --> 01:23:58,720
Speaker 1: kind of I grew up watching the Giants is the

1606
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:01,200
Speaker 1: first team I watched, and it's weird because, like I

1607
01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:04,519
Speaker 1: was in Jets Giants territory, and my child mind was

1608
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:10,640
Speaker 1: wise enough to not latch onto the Jets Browns. They

1609
01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:12,600
Speaker 1: were good back then. By the way, at least the

1610
01:24:12,640 --> 01:24:15,920
Speaker 1: Bears can run. I picked the Bears in this game.

1611
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:17,960
Speaker 1: I don't feel good about either, but I definitely don't

1612
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:20,000
Speaker 1: feel good about either of these teams being a three

1613
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:23,479
Speaker 1: point favorite. So the Bears at least have a couple

1614
01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:25,760
Speaker 1: of things that they do well. They run the ball well,

1615
01:24:25,840 --> 01:24:29,720
Speaker 1: and I think their defense is average, whereas I I

1616
01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:31,920
Speaker 1: have questions that the Giants have done a good job

1617
01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:35,400
Speaker 1: piecing it together, but I don't think they're good at anything.

1618
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:37,320
Speaker 1: I think that, um, I don't know if you guys

1619
01:24:37,600 --> 01:24:39,360
Speaker 1: think they can run the ball. Strager on Good Morning

1620
01:24:39,360 --> 01:24:41,920
Speaker 1: Football had a good little jag on this, and it

1621
01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:45,760
Speaker 1: was the Giants put so much into the Monday night

1622
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:49,080
Speaker 1: game that they're like everybody who were doing a white

1623
01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:51,400
Speaker 1: out in the crowd. And you know, we got the

1624
01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:54,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys coming on Monday Night football and their weekend. They

1625
01:24:54,320 --> 01:24:56,599
Speaker 1: don't have Dak in there, and we're two and oh

1626
01:24:56,680 --> 01:24:58,080
Speaker 1: and we have a chance to be you know, the

1627
01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:01,799
Speaker 1: buzz of the league, and what happens half the building

1628
01:25:01,840 --> 01:25:05,400
Speaker 1: is filled with Cowboys fans. You you don't find a

1629
01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:07,960
Speaker 1: way to beat a team with a Cowboys team that is,

1630
01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:12,840
Speaker 1: you know, merely okay, And without Dak Prescott, you still

1631
01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:15,960
Speaker 1: weren't able to get stops when accounted in that game,

1632
01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:18,360
Speaker 1: you get beat And it's just like that took a

1633
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:19,760
Speaker 1: lot of the air out of the blue and I

1634
01:25:19,760 --> 01:25:22,479
Speaker 1: thought it was it was nice to see another um

1635
01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:26,240
Speaker 1: explosive play from se Kwon Barkley. I'm I think, like

1636
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:29,040
Speaker 1: everyone about everyone else, I'm convinced, as long as he

1637
01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:31,720
Speaker 1: stays healthy, this is a situation where he's gonna have

1638
01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:34,840
Speaker 1: his best year since that first season in two thousand eighteen.

1639
01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:38,280
Speaker 1: But we we talked about the Giants a lot on

1640
01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:41,479
Speaker 1: the Monday Night recap. They're so frenetic on offense and

1641
01:25:41,560 --> 01:25:44,519
Speaker 1: so weird. But the Bears, I I probably want to

1642
01:25:44,720 --> 01:25:46,960
Speaker 1: pick the Bears all season. So the Giants and my

1643
01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:49,439
Speaker 1: choice here. Remember I had the sandwich bet about the

1644
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:52,600
Speaker 1: quickest game in NFL history. These are this. This is

1645
01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:54,559
Speaker 1: one game where if you're gonna go pick and you

1646
01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:56,840
Speaker 1: want to look for it, there's a chance here because

1647
01:25:56,840 --> 01:25:59,200
Speaker 1: I think the Bear many parts, too many punts. You

1648
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:05,360
Speaker 1: need to They're now a team, They're they're two top

1649
01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:08,200
Speaker 1: five rushing off the Bears, are it? You're right, they're

1650
01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:11,639
Speaker 1: going to do that. By the way, he's probably out,

1651
01:26:11,720 --> 01:26:15,120
Speaker 1: but I see, I agree. I don't know. If they're

1652
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:17,840
Speaker 1: with with Herbert and the restaurants, you can do it.

1653
01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:20,880
Speaker 1: And like they ran for two one yards last week,

1654
01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:22,360
Speaker 1: I think that's who they are right now. They're last

1655
01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:25,920
Speaker 1: year's Eagles. No team last year ran for more than two.

1656
01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:28,920
Speaker 1: That's what Chicago is going to try to do. The

1657
01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:31,800
Speaker 1: Giants to try it as well. I like this kind

1658
01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:34,360
Speaker 1: of game on that front. It's from nineteen sixty two.

1659
01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:36,960
Speaker 1: All right, here we go the penultimate pick. The old

1660
01:26:37,040 --> 01:26:42,840
Speaker 1: Zeuser will grab a late game New England at Green Bay. Uh.

1661
01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:45,759
Speaker 1: You know what happened with Mac Jones hopping off the field.

1662
01:26:47,080 --> 01:26:51,840
Speaker 1: Very serious high ankle sprain from Mac Jones. It would

1663
01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:55,000
Speaker 1: be very shocking if we see him on the field.

1664
01:26:55,320 --> 01:26:59,120
Speaker 1: But Bill Belichick UM, in his latest press conference on

1665
01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:02,920
Speaker 1: the issue, would not give us a damn thing. Days

1666
01:27:02,920 --> 01:27:08,360
Speaker 1: getting better? See how goes day by day? Day by day?

1667
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:11,439
Speaker 1: What do I look like a doctor? An orthopedic surgeon?

1668
01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:15,000
Speaker 1: By day? You think I'm gonna read m R. I

1669
01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:18,120
Speaker 1: that's not my job. Stay by day. It's getting better.

1670
01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:20,400
Speaker 1: Day by day. We'll see see what it is tomorrow.

1671
01:27:21,080 --> 01:27:22,960
Speaker 1: It's a lot better than what's yesterday. See what it is.

1672
01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:26,280
Speaker 1: That's so much more than he needed to say. Well,

1673
01:27:26,320 --> 01:27:29,120
Speaker 1: those were I think multiple answers cut together. That was

1674
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:34,080
Speaker 1: he certainly like those you think I think anybody thought

1675
01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:43,000
Speaker 1: he was just saying that, But that's crazy. Yeah, we

1676
01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:45,760
Speaker 1: need to cut separately for future use. When am I

1677
01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:50,000
Speaker 1: a doctor? That was good orthopedic s No, But I

1678
01:27:50,040 --> 01:27:52,040
Speaker 1: mean you've been around football a while. I think you've

1679
01:27:52,040 --> 01:27:55,720
Speaker 1: probably getting information. He never had to deal with this

1680
01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:58,200
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady. UM. And now I think the like

1681
01:27:58,240 --> 01:28:00,120
Speaker 1: the media is a little less respectful where they're like,

1682
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:03,360
Speaker 1: we want some answers. Yeah. The funny thing is, I

1683
01:28:03,400 --> 01:28:06,080
Speaker 1: think he's just kind of having some fun. As much

1684
01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:08,160
Speaker 1: as Bill Belichick came with the media because there's no

1685
01:28:08,200 --> 01:28:10,960
Speaker 1: doubt that he's not playing, so there's no gamesmanship involved

1686
01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:14,559
Speaker 1: on Sunday against the Packers in my mind. But uh yeah,

1687
01:28:14,680 --> 01:28:17,920
Speaker 1: it creates a very bad, very bad situation for New England.

1688
01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:20,640
Speaker 1: So it's Brian Hoyer is a career backup. He's very

1689
01:28:20,840 --> 01:28:24,360
Speaker 1: He's Brian Hoyer, say no more now running a New

1690
01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:27,719
Speaker 1: England offense that showed some growth weeks one through three,

1691
01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:30,600
Speaker 1: but I think they'll take a step back now. Um

1692
01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:33,240
Speaker 1: with Mac Jones at the lineup against the Packers. I

1693
01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:35,600
Speaker 1: feel really good about the Packers as well in this.

1694
01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:37,439
Speaker 1: I don't know where the where the desert has this

1695
01:28:37,479 --> 01:28:40,360
Speaker 1: game and a half. I think that's right. I think

1696
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:43,120
Speaker 1: that is right around. This is a game where I

1697
01:28:43,160 --> 01:28:45,800
Speaker 1: could I'm not trusting Greg the Green Bay offense yet,

1698
01:28:45,800 --> 01:28:48,760
Speaker 1: but this has got written all over it. I could

1699
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:50,920
Speaker 1: see that. But I I feel pretty good about taking

1700
01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:53,280
Speaker 1: the paths with all those points, because when you're an

1701
01:28:53,360 --> 01:28:56,880
Speaker 1: offense in Green Bay that's averaging sixteen points per game

1702
01:28:57,520 --> 01:28:59,840
Speaker 1: and you're a ten point favorite, I have questions. I

1703
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:03,160
Speaker 1: think the Patriots defense has been sound for the most part.

1704
01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:05,920
Speaker 1: The Ravens lit him up because that's what Lamar Jackson does,

1705
01:29:05,920 --> 01:29:10,599
Speaker 1: but those were mostly just insane plays. Uh. Brian Hoyer

1706
01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:13,920
Speaker 1: starting a game, you know, it's tough. It's been a while.

1707
01:29:14,120 --> 01:29:16,200
Speaker 1: He started that Chiefs game a few years back in

1708
01:29:16,280 --> 01:29:19,320
Speaker 1: prime time for the Patriots, which was ugly. Uh. He

1709
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:22,040
Speaker 1: people that like defend that are like, oh, he didn't

1710
01:29:22,040 --> 01:29:24,600
Speaker 1: find out about that until Friday night, So we never practiced.

1711
01:29:24,920 --> 01:29:27,679
Speaker 1: But it is. It is Brian Hoyer. And as Matt

1712
01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:31,479
Speaker 1: Lafleur will tell you, if you squint really hard, Brian

1713
01:29:31,560 --> 01:29:34,800
Speaker 1: Hoyer is a special guy. I remember watching a lot

1714
01:29:34,840 --> 01:29:36,639
Speaker 1: of the cut ups from this is a long time

1715
01:29:36,680 --> 01:29:40,720
Speaker 1: ago from the fourteen season, and um, you know you

1716
01:29:40,720 --> 01:29:44,160
Speaker 1: could make the case and take all his his great

1717
01:29:44,200 --> 01:29:47,040
Speaker 1: plays that he made and you thought he was one

1718
01:29:47,080 --> 01:29:49,360
Speaker 1: of the top quarterbacks in the league. Well, but so

1719
01:29:49,920 --> 01:29:57,160
Speaker 1: have you seen by Justice highlights? Because the reason he

1720
01:29:57,240 --> 01:30:00,519
Speaker 1: was watching the was it was the Shanahan's offense in Cleveland.

1721
01:30:00,520 --> 01:30:02,160
Speaker 1: And that was the year that Wes actually wrote a

1722
01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:04,679
Speaker 1: huge article about Brian horror because they about Davis Mills

1723
01:30:04,800 --> 01:30:09,040
Speaker 1: last year. His twenty best plays were awesome. Ago was,

1724
01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:12,160
Speaker 1: by the way, it was literally eight years ago. Brian

1725
01:30:12,200 --> 01:30:18,960
Speaker 1: Hoyer actually was a good quarterback. That's it, that's fine.

1726
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:22,400
Speaker 1: He had a nice run, I know, not versus just

1727
01:30:22,439 --> 01:30:25,960
Speaker 1: giggling at him like that's all right. I mean, because

1728
01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:29,680
Speaker 1: he said if you watched them in funny and you

1729
01:30:29,800 --> 01:30:36,600
Speaker 1: only took his best plays, that's even funny. It's like,

1730
01:30:36,680 --> 01:30:39,760
Speaker 1: if you watch his highlight reel that's a Browns fan made,

1731
01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:42,559
Speaker 1: it's awesome. Well, it's also just a coach not laughing

1732
01:30:42,600 --> 01:30:45,200
Speaker 1: at the opponent to the press like you're trying to build.

1733
01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:47,000
Speaker 1: You're just doing the coach thing where it's like, hey,

1734
01:30:47,040 --> 01:30:48,600
Speaker 1: it's still a tough game. I don't think it is.

1735
01:30:48,600 --> 01:30:51,879
Speaker 1: And I think actually Green Bay's offense, which is seventh

1736
01:30:51,880 --> 01:30:54,200
Speaker 1: in yards for drives, seventh and points per drive and

1737
01:30:54,240 --> 01:30:56,479
Speaker 1: can run the ball really well, and it's not all

1738
01:30:56,520 --> 01:30:59,400
Speaker 1: about Aaron Aaron Rodgers having to do everything their balance

1739
01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:01,439
Speaker 1: for once. I think they're going to come in and

1740
01:31:01,479 --> 01:31:03,839
Speaker 1: stomp New England. I don't think this is a situation

1741
01:31:03,840 --> 01:31:06,840
Speaker 1: where the Patriots, who feel like they're floating away on offense,

1742
01:31:06,920 --> 01:31:10,320
Speaker 1: this is situation for Brian Horror. You're in a disorganized

1743
01:31:10,320 --> 01:31:13,040
Speaker 1: attack for for the first time last season, the Patriots

1744
01:31:13,040 --> 01:31:17,519
Speaker 1: got my emotions stirring a little bit for the first time. Yeah,

1745
01:31:17,720 --> 01:31:19,519
Speaker 1: I mean I haven't watched any of their games live.

1746
01:31:19,840 --> 01:31:22,439
Speaker 1: I did a little last week, yeah, because Mac Jones

1747
01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:25,160
Speaker 1: was so bizarre. He had like a peak Jamis Winston game,

1748
01:31:25,200 --> 01:31:28,120
Speaker 1: which is not a good thing. He had five um

1749
01:31:28,200 --> 01:31:30,720
Speaker 1: what do they call big time throws via PFF, which

1750
01:31:30,760 --> 01:31:32,800
Speaker 1: is like by far his career high. Like he he

1751
01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:36,200
Speaker 1: was making some plays and they're running really well. Uh

1752
01:31:36,240 --> 01:31:37,880
Speaker 1: and so it got me thinking, like, I don't know,

1753
01:31:38,120 --> 01:31:41,320
Speaker 1: maybe Hoyer can keep this thing close. We'll see, we'll see.

1754
01:31:41,400 --> 01:31:44,200
Speaker 1: I don't doubt it would be very Patriots for this

1755
01:31:44,280 --> 01:31:46,320
Speaker 1: to be a five six point game, that's all. I

1756
01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:48,960
Speaker 1: don't doubt bell Jack's ability to scheme something up with

1757
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:51,880
Speaker 1: the Packers night and not in full flight on offense too.

1758
01:31:52,160 --> 01:31:55,160
Speaker 1: I mean, if Green Bay, if they ever went into

1759
01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:58,960
Speaker 1: this situation and lose to the Brian Hoyer led Patriots

1760
01:31:59,320 --> 01:32:01,240
Speaker 1: things that where to me though, is Greg Butdard has

1761
01:32:01,280 --> 01:32:04,720
Speaker 1: been all over this, Like last week Belichick took over

1762
01:32:04,760 --> 01:32:07,200
Speaker 1: as the offensive coordinator. He was talking to Mac Jones

1763
01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:09,439
Speaker 1: every single play. His back was to the game like

1764
01:32:09,479 --> 01:32:11,240
Speaker 1: he used to be on defense. Remember all those shots

1765
01:32:11,280 --> 01:32:14,120
Speaker 1: of like Belichick like gathering the defense, rounding's coaching and

1766
01:32:14,120 --> 01:32:16,240
Speaker 1: he's not even paying even on the Patriots like during

1767
01:32:16,280 --> 01:32:17,840
Speaker 1: their good years. He's not even paying attention to the

1768
01:32:17,880 --> 01:32:20,479
Speaker 1: offense because Charlie White and Josh McDaniels got that. Now

1769
01:32:20,479 --> 01:32:23,080
Speaker 1: he's doing that with the offense, and Patricia seems a

1770
01:32:23,160 --> 01:32:25,160
Speaker 1: little like out of the mix. And they had a

1771
01:32:25,240 --> 01:32:27,479
Speaker 1: nice offensive game. But it's like, how much can you do?

1772
01:32:27,520 --> 01:32:29,960
Speaker 1: Maybe you should have hired more than like six former

1773
01:32:30,040 --> 01:32:34,280
Speaker 1: cronies in like three of your sons. Well you got

1774
01:32:34,320 --> 01:32:36,120
Speaker 1: Steve Now running the defense, so you don't have to

1775
01:32:36,120 --> 01:32:39,760
Speaker 1: worry about the offensive side of things too. He's a

1776
01:32:39,840 --> 01:32:43,240
Speaker 1: daughter too, who plays lacrosse, coaches lacrosse now on the staff.

1777
01:32:43,720 --> 01:32:46,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just saying, like, why is it

1778
01:32:46,760 --> 01:32:50,400
Speaker 1: only a big time hire more than just sons. You're

1779
01:32:50,439 --> 01:32:55,120
Speaker 1: absolutely right, That's what I'm saying. Sorry, And now we're

1780
01:32:55,160 --> 01:32:59,680
Speaker 1: supposed to speed up. Let's finish this thing. Oh my god. Sorry,

1781
01:33:01,200 --> 01:33:05,000
Speaker 1: go ahead. The next pick generally, but I forgot them up.

1782
01:33:05,040 --> 01:33:09,400
Speaker 1: Commander's Cowboys is the last pick. Kyler Murray do something right. Sorry,

1783
01:33:09,400 --> 01:33:15,960
Speaker 1: I was just getting even with Craig Furler Commanders Cowboys.

1784
01:33:17,080 --> 01:33:19,800
Speaker 1: There's a lot of Jets gear in this studio. Um,

1785
01:33:19,840 --> 01:33:22,360
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but do you think if I

1786
01:33:22,439 --> 01:33:25,920
Speaker 1: took something anybody would notice we're in a foreign country.

1787
01:33:25,960 --> 01:33:29,559
Speaker 1: I think if you break jacket that we took from

1788
01:33:29,640 --> 01:33:32,600
Speaker 1: the team store like four years ago, that was just

1789
01:33:32,640 --> 01:33:34,800
Speaker 1: maybe out of respect to Henry. I'm gonna ask for

1790
01:33:34,840 --> 01:33:37,439
Speaker 1: this this Jets pull over with the old logo on it.

1791
01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:41,120
Speaker 1: I gotta say the Cowboys with Cooper Rush and like

1792
01:33:41,200 --> 01:33:43,720
Speaker 1: the defense they've They're they're kind of fun right now.

1793
01:33:43,760 --> 01:33:46,439
Speaker 1: They were really aggressive how they called plays. This would

1794
01:33:46,439 --> 01:33:48,759
Speaker 1: be a fun three and one Cowboys team. The NFC's

1795
01:33:48,760 --> 01:33:52,080
Speaker 1: actually might be interesting. The Cowboys defense. They've kept these

1796
01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:54,880
Speaker 1: defensive backs together even though they're not big names, for

1797
01:33:54,920 --> 01:33:57,160
Speaker 1: five or six years, and then they're getting this much pressure.

1798
01:33:57,160 --> 01:33:59,960
Speaker 1: It's a nice combination, especially against a guy and Carson Wentz,

1799
01:34:00,280 --> 01:34:03,960
Speaker 1: who who handles pressure worse than anyone. I was thinking

1800
01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:06,360
Speaker 1: almost picked this that I am more interested in watching

1801
01:34:06,560 --> 01:34:09,719
Speaker 1: the Cooper Rush led Cowboys than the Dak Prescott led Cowboys.

1802
01:34:10,280 --> 01:34:13,760
Speaker 1: It's said, I'm texting Andry about seeing I can have

1803
01:34:13,760 --> 01:34:17,040
Speaker 1: some of this Jets here. You guys played that sound

1804
01:34:17,040 --> 01:34:20,920
Speaker 1: because I'm locking up the Cowboys? Are you? I I

1805
01:34:20,960 --> 01:34:22,559
Speaker 1: like that? I think I think the way. I know

1806
01:34:22,600 --> 01:34:24,639
Speaker 1: what you mean. I think it's just maybe this Cowboys

1807
01:34:24,680 --> 01:34:27,840
Speaker 1: team is friskier. Their defense could be really good and

1808
01:34:27,880 --> 01:34:29,800
Speaker 1: when you put back in there. But I think them

1809
01:34:29,840 --> 01:34:32,040
Speaker 1: having Cooper Rush almost like simplified thing. And I love

1810
01:34:32,120 --> 01:34:34,000
Speaker 1: that they were. They were kind of balls to the

1811
01:34:34,040 --> 01:34:36,439
Speaker 1: wall last week, and I thought, you haven't seen that

1812
01:34:36,520 --> 01:34:39,360
Speaker 1: much out of Kellen Moore and Mike McCarthy. That's fun.

1813
01:34:40,120 --> 01:34:44,280
Speaker 1: Dominique Foxworth had this crazy theory um which had kind

1814
01:34:44,280 --> 01:34:47,719
Speaker 1: of made sense to me that somehow like Dak Prescott

1815
01:34:47,800 --> 01:34:49,840
Speaker 1: is so good that almost like the coach, then he

1816
01:34:49,840 --> 01:34:52,040
Speaker 1: can do everything that the coaching staff didn't know what,

1817
01:34:52,280 --> 01:34:54,639
Speaker 1: doesn't almost know what to do. They have all these

1818
01:34:55,200 --> 01:34:57,559
Speaker 1: like options and they end up being nothing, and that

1819
01:34:57,640 --> 01:34:59,400
Speaker 1: with Cooper Rush, they know exactly what to do and

1820
01:34:59,439 --> 01:35:01,479
Speaker 1: they're better at And I was like that, actually it's

1821
01:35:01,520 --> 01:35:03,320
Speaker 1: a galaxy brain thought, but it kind of makes it.

1822
01:35:03,880 --> 01:35:06,320
Speaker 1: I like that. It's a good take. Where are you

1823
01:35:06,320 --> 01:35:08,920
Speaker 1: doing with your text? Sorry? I have no idea that

1824
01:35:08,960 --> 01:35:10,840
Speaker 1: you guys are talking about that Henry did clear mean

1825
01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:13,840
Speaker 1: to take a shirt? Um? Alright, good? You locked up

1826
01:35:13,840 --> 01:35:19,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, Yes, sir? That pass rushes finger licking good

1827
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:21,920
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say no, one's like locked up a

1828
01:35:21,920 --> 01:35:26,000
Speaker 1: team with a bigger spread than than like four this year,

1829
01:35:26,080 --> 01:35:32,519
Speaker 1: which is a lot of you know, integrity um and

1830
01:35:32,800 --> 01:35:34,599
Speaker 1: people that get a little annoyed because Greg, you're all

1831
01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:38,160
Speaker 1: over the announcer angle of things about the cow The

1832
01:35:38,160 --> 01:35:42,799
Speaker 1: Cowboys and Commanders should not be getting Burkhardt, Olson Andrews

1833
01:35:42,800 --> 01:35:46,439
Speaker 1: and Tom Rinaldi. How about Pat's Packers getting Romo and Nance.

1834
01:35:46,600 --> 01:35:49,280
Speaker 1: Although there's no good late game, so there's they were

1835
01:35:49,280 --> 01:35:51,200
Speaker 1: in a tough spot. The Cowboys game is also the

1836
01:35:51,240 --> 01:35:54,200
Speaker 1: biggest nationally broadcast game. It like eats up the whole map.

1837
01:35:54,240 --> 01:35:56,680
Speaker 1: It's crazy. It's crazy. No, I can't why they're doing it,

1838
01:35:56,720 --> 01:35:58,880
Speaker 1: but I'm with you. It's like matchup wise, come on,

1839
01:35:59,640 --> 01:36:03,439
Speaker 1: but that matchup as always ratings people watch it. You know,

1840
01:36:03,479 --> 01:36:05,200
Speaker 1: I don't care about that. Why why do you care

1841
01:36:05,240 --> 01:36:12,000
Speaker 1: about ratings? People? Who? People are like that? Answers the question,

1842
01:36:12,040 --> 01:36:14,400
Speaker 1: but it doesn't make me happy. But well, yeah, exactly,

1843
01:36:14,400 --> 01:36:16,479
Speaker 1: it's why why am I even saying that? Because the

1844
01:36:16,520 --> 01:36:19,920
Speaker 1: reason why they're doing that is because Fox wants to

1845
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:22,000
Speaker 1: put their best crew on the game that most people

1846
01:36:22,040 --> 01:36:25,160
Speaker 1: want to watch. And people, oh, they're not America's team anymore.

1847
01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:29,240
Speaker 1: They haven't won years. Everybody loves the Cowboys still. The

1848
01:36:29,320 --> 01:36:33,120
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush first start, who is that against? I think

1849
01:36:33,200 --> 01:36:36,479
Speaker 1: is the most watched game of the entire season and

1850
01:36:36,520 --> 01:36:39,719
Speaker 1: the in THENGS. Yeah, the Bengals game is the most watched.

1851
01:36:40,640 --> 01:36:45,040
Speaker 1: Like Cowboys Bengals was the most watched game before we

1852
01:36:45,080 --> 01:36:49,440
Speaker 1: sign off. South Bank Takeover will be there twelve thirty Saturday.

1860
01:37:22,439 --> 01:37:25,280
Speaker 1: you know how? Who how? He died a fan because

1861
01:37:25,280 --> 01:37:29,920
Speaker 1: Houdini was known for being able to do anything, escape anything.

1862
01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:36,640
Speaker 1: Can you take a punch Harry Houdini? Ah, take that, sir, right,

1863
01:37:36,680 --> 01:37:40,200
Speaker 1: tell your jolly Rogers punched him rightly. Belly. He had

1864
01:37:40,240 --> 01:37:43,960
Speaker 1: a ruptured spleen or something. He died from the punch. Now,

1865
01:37:44,040 --> 01:37:48,400
Speaker 1: don't do that to Greg. But I'm saying, how about

1866
01:37:48,680 --> 01:37:52,519
Speaker 1: nunch him? Okay, that's how he died. That seems like this.

1867
01:37:52,720 --> 01:37:55,040
Speaker 1: I believe this is the story and I think that's

1868
01:37:55,120 --> 01:37:58,120
Speaker 1: right in the chest. Yeah, knocked him out right, jolly

1869
01:37:58,240 --> 01:38:01,720
Speaker 1: Rogers and that's it went. But don't do that to

1870
01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:08,559
Speaker 1: Greg or Dan or Mark or Justin. Bring out those

1871
01:38:08,600 --> 01:38:12,639
Speaker 1: quarters zips and uh got another quarter zip on and

1872
01:38:12,960 --> 01:38:15,519
Speaker 1: quarter zip Nation rise up. I know it's not three

1873
01:38:15,600 --> 01:38:18,080
Speaker 1: quarters zip. I've been told. I still stand by that

1874
01:38:18,200 --> 01:38:20,519
Speaker 1: it's a three quarters zip because the measurement begins from

1875
01:38:20,520 --> 01:38:23,559
Speaker 1: the bottom of the shirt. Three quarters then use it.

1876
01:38:24,720 --> 01:38:29,439
Speaker 1: But I'll for you people, I will align um and say, okay,
